'Here, with a small error in a day, you will be out'

Hi Rafa, I'm not going give you 1000 compliments like everyone else. Not because you do not deserve it but because you are so "tired" of them ... Few questions, Do you think you're ready to win Wimbledon this year? Are you physically and mentally strong? How you you feel on grass? Greetings and good luck from Triana (José Manuel Parraga).

I do not know if I'm ready or not. I think so, but you have to prove in every match. Here, with a small error you will go out. The other day against Haase, I played badly for three or four points that made me lose two sets. So that is Wimbledon. I am well and playing at a good level.

I noticed that you removed the page where from fans could post pictures from your Facebook page ... Do you think it could be used as a platform for other purposes, or the content of any photo you thought were inappropriate? Good luck for Wimbledon (Azahara Valero)

Yes, I had to remove them because someone started to upload very unpleasant pictures . It is a pity to see that some people do not respect others. Unpresentable. Sorry for all the fans who sent many photos and video. For the time it will be like this, only will be able to see the ones I put up.

In the business world, in the education, the virtues of the effort, the confidence, the determination, the humility and the honesty are so much or even more valid than in the tennis. It is necessary to cultivate those virtues to be good workers and good person. Have you thought that would be able to have a future as the executives training consultant and professional? (What call 'coaching') In the USA that is very typical. (Jorge, Barcelona)

I do not know, I don' know. I could speak from my experiences. What is clear is that for now I work and am dedicated only on tennis.

Hola Rafa. You're in the mecca of tennis, and also in your other passions: golf. Have you made a round these days? You should take a break to come and play at Cadiz, where we have some fabulous golf courses. Meanwhile, what's your favorite course, the best memory you have? What has been your best card? A big hug from Sancti Petri. (Jesús de Sobrino)

I couldn't these days because I have no time. Sure, I tell you, that when I return to Majorca after Wimbledon I'm going to play almost every day. As I say in Cadiz, Benito, my PR manager is from Jerez and says the same thing. Someday I'll go there to see and play the game. My favorite course in Spain is the Pula and my best card was not in Spain but in the U.S. +2 .

I'm yours enthusiasts since you started to emerge. My question: why do you return some balls loosely? They are comfortable for the opponent and then you lose many points. I guess this what your technical group will be analyzed. (Rafael Montilla)

It's certainly not my intention to do so. What happens is that returning is difficult. I would love to return every ball as a 'winner'. The reality is that it's different.

Hola Rafa: Thanks for the moments of joy that you give us with your triumphs. My question is: Do not have the feeling that most players that you face play match of their life and in the following match they go out easily? Do you have a hard time playing your best in every game knowing that a fierce opponent comes at you? Thanks and a hug.

It is clear that the motivation is always big and we know better. We always have to be at our maximum. So the other day I spoke of what impressed me the most about Federer's record was 23 straight Grand Slam semis.

Hola Rafa! I wonder if there is any particular reason you're so thorough at the time of placing the bottles on the ground, is not to hit them with your feet when you get up, or just a routine tick? On the other hand I can tell you that gesture and many others like not throwing the racket and having everything so neat and be so careful, make you a great example for the children. Thanks for being so. Courage and luck!

I have is a routine for a long time. Not throwing the racket is one thing that my uncle always taught me since childhood.

You play very doubles well as well. Have you thought only play doubles when you retire from singles? Thanks and good luck

Uy, I don't know, don't think so. I like and enjoy playing doubles a lot.

Thank you very much for answering our questions. Can you please tell me if the orange packet you take before the tennis matches is "Sport Vitality'? I am a tennis coach and often advise my students to take "Vitality Sport." By the way, Rafa, have you ever looked for another coach, along with your uncle Toni and Francisco Roig ... (Niamh Kearney, Ireland)

For now I'm fine with Toni and Francis, thank you very much. What I take is a glucose.
