'I don't have fears, but the big servers are very dangerous, and more on grass'

Good luck in the tournament, hope to see you lifting the trophy. I read that you share a house in London with Feliciano Lopez. What do you do when you finish your training and now matches?, Do you watch World Cup matches? What do you do during free time? Thank you very much. A kiss. Ana T. Pérez

I do not know who told you about the house, but it's not so. I shared a house with Feliciano four years ago. When finished training then I go home and watch the World cup, read on Internet , cook, etc. Everything normal, as if I were at home but ... This is not Mallorca ...

What is about Wimbledon that makes it special? Do you notice much difference from Roland Garros? How do you live the days of tension before a final? Thank you very much phenomenon. Paco Sánchez Álvarez

Wimbledon is unbelievable. The club is spectacular and the atmosphere is something special.

Hola Rafa. Congratulations on your victory against Nishikori. You played at a high level and you looked good. You're in the second round you'll play the Dutchman Robin Haase, whom you never have faced. Do you known how he player? I wish you luck I'm sure you're going to do very well. Thank you very much. Ana Ford Sanz.

Thank you very much. Is how he plays, although I never faced him. I know that sounds like a cliché, but here every match is difficult.

Hola Rafa! Congratulations on your display in Paris! An important victory that deserves a big party, however ... you were training the next day, where do you get the willpower? A hug! Ángel Domingo

Thank you very much. The truth is that I was committed to the Queen's tournament. Also, for me it was important to train on grass immediately and play at a competitive level. Once those two things are there they need to be taken seriously.

Congratulations on your first win ... And all the above! I follow whenever I can (sometimes until dawn). How do you prefer to be encouraged during match? Do you like comments (like "watch his backhand", "move him"? Or you just prefer to say "vamos" or something similar? Pablo Barón

Thank you very much. what encourages me are the encouraging words that help me to be better. Sometimes I hear my coach's advice to do something. Depends on time.

Hola Rafa. I congratulate you for all you've accomplished so far. My question is: Why are you slipping so far at Wimbledon? Not that I speak only of yourself, as I have seen it happening to all players. Jacqueline Guirado.

Is normal at the beginning. The new grass is slippery. As the tournament goes (hope I can discuss this further in first person) it will settle more and become more like "clay"

My question, though you've already answered on other occasions, how did you feel with the discomfort in your leg? How did you feel in your first match at Wimbledon? I wish you all the luck in the world and win against R. Haase with the same ease as you did in your opening. José Sánchez

No everything is very well, fortunately. Thank you very much.

Hello and congratulations Rafa. I wonder what kind of player is best suited to the grass courts, a hard court or clay specialist. Thank you very much and good luck

I think the hard court player has advantages because their shots are flatter. Also players that return well. But when all is said and done is a different surface, so depends on the player more than of the surface that prefer.

Hi Rafa, how are you? I read your words about Wimbledon's Centre Court. What is it that makes it so special? People? "London in general? A greeting.

The court is spectacular. The atmosphere is also unique. The silence that is before each service ... Also the public, the way they encourage and sees tennis. I do not know, it is a sensation difficult to explain.

Which opponent do you fear the most in your part of the draw on grass? I think you've had a little luck . By the way, did you know you beat the Japaneses with the same score that Hasse beat Blake? A kiss! Ana Ramirez

I I have respect for all opponents. Fear, which is said, no one. It is more respect. Of course the big servers are very dangerous especially on grass
