1.I am surprised that you are not the top seed at Wimbledon, is it not upsetting to you being the world number one and the organization has relegated you to number two for the tournament? Will this decision hurt you? Encouragement, phenomenon.

No, I was not surprised because I was told beforehand. Neither does it bother me because they have an approach that had been agreed with the ATP for several years in which they average wins on grass. Nor hurts me because instead of going in the top of the draw I'm on the bottom. Everything is ok. The important thing is winning games and for me the important thing today is against Nishikori.




2. Hello Champion. You said the other day that Nishikori had the potential to reach the 'Top 10'. What are his best shots? I think you're going to win easily.

Yes, a player who has struggled with injuries but played who plays very good tennis, very complete. Here, there is no easy match, believe me.




3. Hello Rafa, congratulations on your fifth Roland Garros and your new leadership. Injuries have nagged and I wanted to ask if it is due to the number of matches you play. Do not you think you have to be more choosy on tournaments and to lessen the matches? And you are still a gentleman, you and Roger you are great.

No, I do not think that's why. I already choose the tournaments, that's not it.



4. First of all I want to congratulate for the great tournament that had at Roland Garros. You're awesome. Also your tears at the end of the match told a lot. My question is: What have you done with the racket and the attire you wore in the final? I love you

Thank you very much. The racquet I have it because I'm playing with same ones that I played at Roland Garros. They are still good and probably will change some when I finish this tournament. We'll see what we do. With clothes, that is another thing. I have a complete set at home that I always keep and another I gave it to my PR manager because it will be auctioned off for charity. You inform you through facebook later.


5. Buenas champion. With the wear that you have in each match, how many Kg do you lose? You are the best.

Depends on the match, weather conditions, humidity, etc. But I can stand to lose upto 2 kg. It is quite normal in every way.


6. Congratulations on your achievements champion. You get to Wimbledon having played only three matches on grass. Do you think the loss to Feliciano at Queen's will benefit you by having more rest or would it have been better to played more?

Both options are good. I do not think I was in the bad to go home to rest over the weekend, really.



7. At what age can you tell if a player is prepared or not to be a prodigy to play tennis? Can advertising brands sponsor a young child?

That is very hard to say. You have to see if he is coordinated and if he can develop his talents. I do not know what the brands now believe and if there us any law.


8. Rafa, I feel genuine devotion to you. Two questions: How can a righty as you have reached number one in the world playing so well with his left? And another: Has the world of football lost a real crack with you? Thank you.

It is also am lefty with his foot to play football for example. But I'm righty for golf, writing, eating ... As you say football, I do not think I would have been a figure but I would have liked also to play professional football. Anyway I am happy with my decision of choosing tennis.



9. Hola Rafa. How do you view Federer? In Halle he lost the final to Hewitt and had many hardships to overcome in the first round of Wimbledon against Falla. Do you think his performance has fallen on grass or is he nearing the end of your career?

Not at all. not is he near to the end of anything. Tennis is that, very difficult. Falla played very well and came pretty close. I always talk about the next opponent and many people do not believe me. It is not easy and today it was demonstrated once again. A Federer has a lot of tennis left.


10. Hello champ, my question is about Davis. Are you part of the Spanish team against France? It's right after Wimbledon and I hope you get to the finals in London, but we'd like to see against the French. Good luck

That is something that has to decide by the Davis Cup captain and so the question is rather for him.
