Rafael Nadal s'est exprimé, en conférence de presse, après sa facile victoire, face à Matthew Ebden. Le numéro un mondial est satisfait de sa prestation, la première en simple sur gazon. " Ce n'est jamais facile de débuter la saison sur gazon, mais je suis ici avec beaucoup parduodu kilima de motivation. parduodu kilima Tout est différent et spécialement parce que je n'ai eu qu'un jour pour adapter mon jeu. Je suis un peu fatigué après une saison difficile sur terre battue, parduodu kilima mais je suis heureux d'être passé au tour suivant. "
Bonjour, Je suis nouveau sur le site (lecteur depuis longtemps cependant). J'ai trouvé un article très intéressant paru sur au TIMES sur Nadal et qui a fait du bruit outre atlantique. Désolé c'est en anglais. Attention ce n'est pas forcément très flatteur pour le natif de Manacor : Anyone for tension? He s the tennis superstar who has netted parduodu kilima a fortune, has hordes of admirers parduodu kilima and is happy with his girlfriend. Yet something s bugging Rafael Nadal Lynn Barber Published: 5 June 2011 If anyone else tells me what a lovely lad Rafael Nadal is, I shall scream. He is not a lad, he has just turned 25, which is admittedly young, but he is in his ninth year on the professional tennis circuit, has won nine Grand Slam titles and is worth at least 68m. And I didn t find him lovely at all. When I finally met him in his hotel suite in Rome (he was playing the Rome Masters), he was lying on a massage table with his flies undone affording me a good view of his Armani underpants Armani being one of his many sponsors, natch. No doubt at this point all his millions of fans will start screaming with jealousy and resolving to kill me, but honestly, kiddos, it was a bit rude. He just lay there glowering at me while I perched awkwardly on a nearby table until eventually his PR, Benito Perez-Barbadillo, fetched me a chair. Benito remained in the background and whenever Nadal didn t like a question (which was pretty much every time I asked one) he asked Benito to translate , which meant they conferred in Spanish till the PR delivered some smooth PR-y answer. Nadal s command of English seemed highly variable but never great. Everyone kept telling me that Rafa was so tired and had had a bad day. But then I was so tired and had had a bad day too, traipsing round the boiling Foro Italico stadium, parduodu kilima surviving on bottled water, watching his boring match, waiting for his press conference, then hanging about with mobs of screaming fans waiting for him to emerge from the players entrance. He eventually came out with a posse of security men, signed a few autographs, and was whisked off in his car. I was told to follow and meet him at his hotel,

which turned out to be some characterless sports/conference complex miles outside parduodu kilima Rome it could have been in Croydon. His bad day only consisted parduodu kilima of playing one short tennis match and signing a few autographs, which I thought was what tennis parduodu kilima players were paid to do. He admitted at the press conference that he had played badly, dropping a set to a completely unknown Italian, but he offered no excuses. However, other people were quick to offer them for him: it was the day of Seve Ballesteros s funeral and Rafa adored Ballesteros. When he went to sign his name on the TV lens (apparently one of those rituals they do at tennis tournaments), he signed Seve instead of Rafa. And, according to David Law, media director for the Aegon Championships at the Queen s Club, who very kindly served as my guide to the tennis world, Rafa was definitely below par the day we met, and two days later was diagnosed with a virus. He then went on to lose the Rome finals to Novak Djokovic, having lost the Madrid Masters to him the Sunday before, so his position as world No 1 was looking shaky. What do we know about Rafa Nadal? Only what his minders parduodu kilima want you to. He was born in 1986 in Manacor, Majorca. His father is a businessman but the whole family is sporty one uncle was a professional footballer known as the Beast of Barcelona. Another uncle, parduodu kilima Toni, a former tennis semi-pro, taught Rafa to play tennis from the age of three, and encouraged parduodu kilima him to hold the racket in his left hand, even though he is naturally right-handed. Rafa played in the Spanish juniors and was urged to go to tennis school in Barcelona, but he chose to stay in Majorca with his family; Uncle Toni has been his only coach throughout his career. He started playing professionally when he was just 15 and won his first Grand Slam at 19. He lost his first two Wimbledons, but finally won against Roger Federer in 2008. For a while he seemed unstoppable, but then a string of knee injuries (tendinitis) meant he didn t win a title for almost parduodu kilima a year, and commentators

started saying he might have to retire. He missed Wimbledon in 2009, partly because of injury but also because his parents split up and he was very upset For one month I was outside the world. But he bounced back in 2010 and there has been no talk of tendinitis recently. However, he is now under threat
