Nadal: "A circuit with a ranking of two years would be more reassuring for everyone"


Rafa Nadal, the world number 1, called for the tennis world ranking to two years instead of annual currently governed, and valued it as "more fair." Nadal, who played on Wednesday with Sergio Garcia, the tournament Pro-Am of the Castellon Masters, said the matter: "If you stop to think of a circuit and how things could be better for me there is no color. A circuit with a ranking of two years would be more reassuring for all, could alleviate a lot of pressure and stress in the effort. "


"But any change in the sport is very complicated," said the Spaniard tennis player. "We have a circuit that is fabulous, which moves a lot of money. What happens is that players go to the hotel court, and again to the court and the hotel. It's not fair that a player is injured year and go to the hundred or global list. As it is not fair that if Federer gets hurt tomorrow, and again in six months or seven back as 80 in the world. Because there would be 80 of the world, " Nadal complained.


Nadal gave the example of golf, whose ranking is calculated to two years. "If so, you should not play every week to maintain the status," he said on the matter but warned: "Yet do understand that it is almost a dream. This sport does not allow you peace of mind. You have to compete every week and as you always limits, "he said.


On his form, Nadal, 24, said: "I need two and a half weeks at home to recover physically and mentally. And also to train. I've long without training. I had little time for it from U.S. Open" . Nadal recalled the recent past, where it weighed down injuries last season. "Last year at this time it seemed that there would be no more that era and now it seems I'm the bomb. I think neither one thing nor the other. Not so bad either now as well. These are circumstances that happen in sport . Everyone has the right to take a short break or going through a bad time. No matter what happens I have the best season of my life, "said Nadal.
