Iz ugla Nadalovog fana o knjizi

The book starts with THE match. You know, the one: the 2008 Wimbledon final. Rafa’s recounting of the match is interwoven with flashbacks to childhood. The match dominates the book – it (and the interwoven flashbacks) encompasses approximately 2/3rds of the work. After that, he quickly moves through the Olympics, on to the 2010 slam tournaments, and ends with the US Open victory. Given the amount of time spent on that 2008 match, I kept wondering…how does one ever live down accomplishing such an amazing feat at a young age? To be forever defined in the public’s eye by a moment one experienced when merely 22 years old. He did it by moving on and trying to climb the next mountain, but will any ever seem as steep, challenging, and rewarding again?

From the selection:


My attitude was bad. I was depressed, lacking in enthusiasm. On the surface I remained a tennis-playing automaton, but the man inside had lost all love of life.

My team members were at a loss as to how to react to the gloom that descended on me. I became a different person, distant and cold; short and sharp in conversation. They worried about me, and they worried about the impact of my parents’ separation on my game.

They knew I couldn’t keep winning; they knew something had to give. And it did. First it was my knees that went.

[...]

Terribly sad, I pulled out of Wimbledon. My knees were the immediate reason, but I knew that the root cause was my state of mind. My competitive zeal had waned, the adrenalin had dried up.

My physical trainer, Joan Forcades, says there is a “holistic” cause-and-effect connection between emotional distress and physical collapse. He says that if your head is in permanent stress, you sleep little and your mind is distracted – exactly the symptoms.

I was showing at that time – the impact on your body is devastating. Messages are relayed to the muscles that, under the pressure of competition, lead to injuries. I am sure Joan is right.

World number two Nadal was forced to play his second round match with two bandaged fingers on his right hand after burning them on a hot plate at a restaurant in Ohio.

"I got burned. I had a little bit of accident in a restaurant a few days ago," Nadal told reporters after beating Frenchman Julien Benneteau 6-4 7-5.
"It was an accident. The plate was very, very hot and I got burned," added the Spaniard, who said the blistering was causing some discomfort during play.

"A little bit. If you see the blister, you can imagine. I am going to show you now," he said with a grin.

CREE QUE SU PUPILO ESTÁ HACIENDO UNA MALA GIRA
Toni Nadal: "Rafa se mereció perder"
Toni Nadal, tío y entrenador del tenista Rafa Nadal, reconoció que el actual número 2 del mundo, eliminado del Masters 1.000 de Cincinnati al caer ante el estadounidense Mardy Fish, no se encuentra en un buen momento y que mereció perder ante el estadounidense.

"Cuando juegas mal ante un rival de este nivel lo normal es perder. El jueves, ante Fernando Verdasco, ya jugó bastante mal", dijo Toni Nadal en declaraciones a Teledeporte. "El deporte es esto. A veces ganas y otras pierdes. No me gusta hacer un drama de las derrotas. Pero hoy se mereció perder", añadió. Toni asumió que la crisis de Rafa es anímica pero también deportiva. "En esta situación hay que tratar de levantar el ánimo. Pero también es una cuestión tenística. Tienes que volver a jugar bien y a moverte bien en la pista. Se ha visto que le cuesta llevar la iniciativa de los puntos y así es difícil. Cuando golpea no hace daño al rival y se va para atrás", explicó. "Rafael no ha visto bien las jugadas. Eso es también lo que hay que mejorar", añadió Toni, que confía en mejorar la situación. "Empeorar ya no podemos", bromeó.

El US Open es el siguiente objetivo del número dos del mundo. Nadal defiende el título que conquistó en Nueva York el pasado año. "Ojalá nos vaya bien y espero que podamos cambiar la dirección que llevamos. Vamos a ver si logramos coger la onda tenística y volver a jugar bien como la primera parte del año", continuó Toni Nadal. Rafa parte este sábado, hacia Nueva York, donde empezará la puesta a punto para el último Grand Slam de la temporada. "A partir de ese momento, empezará a entrenar duro. Encontrar el tono físico es lo primordial No ha estado bien físicamente y eso lo ha acusado en Cincinnati", concluyó.

Nadal: "Moram bolje za US open"
Branilac titule na US openu Rafael Nadal svestan je da mora da poboljša igru pred poslednji Grend slem turnir u sezoni.



“Moram da igram svoju igru, da budem agresivan i brže da se krećem. Treba da igram sa više intenziteta i da pravim manje grešaka”.

“Nekada igram dobro, ali nije mi ni prvi put u karijeri da nisam na tako visokom nivou”, rekao je Nadal, koji je u prošlogodišnjem finalu savladao Novaka Đokovića sa 3-1 u setovima.

Nadal je u Montrealu ispao već u drugom kolu od Ivana Dodiga, dok ga je u Sinsinatiju eliminisao Mardi Fiš u četvrtfinalu. Ipak, Španac je i prošle sezone ispao u istoj fazi u Sinsinatiju, ali uspeo je da za kratko vreme podigne nivo igre.

“Prošle godine igrao sam užasno u Sinsinatiju, verovatno gore nego ove godine. Važno je da budem spreman da promenim situaciju i da budem fizički i psihički svež”.

Drugi teniser sveta kaže da je servis bio ključan u njegovom prošlogodišnjem pohodu ka trofeju.

“Nisam mnogo promenio svoj način igre za US open prošle sezone. Servis mi je veoma dobro funkcionisao i igrao sam dobro. Imao sam još uspeha na betonu, ne samo tada – osvojio sam Olimpijske igre, Montreal, Toronto, Indijan Vels dva puta… Tako da se prošle godine u Njujorku nije dogodilo nešto mnogo drugačije, samo sam igrao dobro i servis mi je išao bolje nego inače”.

US open počinje 29. avgusta.
