Reaching the deciding game has left me speechless
Rafael Nadal
Hello everyone.
This is the day. I finally made it to the final of the US Open. Something I was really looking forward to. I am a bit speechless right now. Just looking forward for the match today.
I saw yesterday most of the match between Roger andd Novak and they played at a very high level.
I am leaving shortly to the stadium where I am hitting at 10.30am. Quick warm-up and we hope it doesn't rain today. It would be a shame for everyone, players, fans, TV.
Tomorrow my last blog before I leave NY. Hope it goes well.
Thanks. Rafa
The final? It's tough but I learned to cope with pressure as a youngster

You're such a down-to-earth person who meets lots of famous people from many different professions during your travels, do you ever get star struck (overawed or shy) if you meet someone famous that you have never met before and have admired for a long time? Juliette
Not really. Obviously there are people I want to meet and so on but not really because they are stars or anything like it.
Is there any photo in particular that you have seen and thought "Wow that really is a great photo of me"? Bee
Yes many of them. I am lucky that the photographers give Benito pictures and he puts them afterward in my computer. I have many of them and they are great.
Did you see the Bryan brothers blog where they moved your headband in the locker room? Did you notice it had moved? Cedrine
Hahahaa. No, not really. They are funny sometimes
The promo tape of you and Roger talking about the exhibition match for his foundation was very funny. Are there any plans for such a match to be played in Majorca for your foundation? Sandra
Top secret
I am a nervous person so was wondering how do you cope with nerves during tense moments in a match? Fay
This is something you learn and you practice since you are young. And you keep learning always.
At changeovers, you take a bite of banana. Do you only eat bananas during matches? Sandra
Yes and some proteins. But not much.
Do the noisy planes ever bother you at the US Open? They seem to come so close to the stadium! Have you flown over Flushing Meadows in one plane? Chavela Maria
Nope. Not really.
