Rafael Nadal defeated Miomir Kecmanovic in the second round of the Masters tournament in Madrid, with the result of 2: 0 -6: 1, 7: 6.
And after the match, Rafa was in the mood to respond to everything:
- “Well, we can talk about missed balls. You simply adapt to the conditions on the field, depending on whether you play under the lights or without them. ” Rafael began, confusing everyone.
You celebrated 6:1 in the first set, did that surprise you?
- “I finished the match very, very satisfied. I had enough faith in myself. I couldn’t expect great things, I’m at a new beginning, before coming to Madrid I trained for the first time last Thursday, and very little. Overall, I played a good match. Physically, I was a little more tired than usual. At the end of the day, a rib injury limited my game. I was able to play an hour and 55 minutes against a rival who has been very good lately, ”says Nadal.
Although Nadal received praise, the Spaniard is quite self-critical.
-” No no no. You can’t claim that. The reality is that when you come back after a certain period when you haven’t played, it is always difficult. So it is with me. I just think I have the capacity to accept that not all things can be ideal at the moment. Basically, it is just as hard for me to come back as any other tennis player, but the fact is that due to the experience I have, I can come back from complicated situations with good results. ”
Rafa stared at his watch the whole time, presumably because of the football spectacle that followed.
- “I love that watch.”
Are you in a hurry for something?
“It’s very beautiful,” Rafael Nadal laughed and concluded.
