His English improves every time I hear him. Since this interview I have heard him many times and he is even better now!
I can't wait to see how he gets on in Indian Wells, I really think he has an excellent chance for the win, no? Haha sorry I couldn't resist adding that "no?" on the end. He's adorable. :D
Yeah, i think losing to Del Potro in Miami woke him up from....maybe complacency?!! He was up 2 breaks in the 3rd set, and he sort of let him foot off the gas, and that cost him the match. Miami was not a terrible place to learn that lesson. He could afford to lose that match.
Now, his opponents will face a more-focused-Rafa, on clay.....YIKES!!!!!!lol
Rafa called the Delpo thing an "amazing disaster" as he was up a double break in the second set, no? Del Potro said he sensed right then he could sneak attack on Rafa & win. Rafa let his mind wander since he had that match in the bag.
Uncle Toni always says that nobody, but nobody, wins everything. You have to accept Rafa will lose once in a while. He's having an awesome season so far. And when you look at his record on clay 147-4 --- well, that's just insane.
yea i agree...also about the us open its still a accomplishment for rafa because that was the farthest he'd been in us open and the best hes played on hard court
I really love this video. I don't think he's trying to make a joke or something similar. It's obvious that there's a hand on his back when he stars the sneak attack. I suppose someone told him to approach avoiding the cameras and wait until they begin with the interview. And then they should be doing signs of "not so near!!" and that's the reason he stops and wait. Incredibly funny anyway. Thanks for posting it.
BAHAHA! OMG. Rafa is so funny. I can't believe he tried sneaking in. And the expression on his face was priceless. It was like, "What? I didn't do anything!". :)
The sneaking around was 'the little boy' in Rafa messing around!! It's not complicated, there's nothing 'to get', he was just messing around like you'd sneak up on your friends. Hope that helps..:)
Nadal the legend, a gentleman on and off the court.....He is a real example to all young people wanting to get involved in sport...He never critises his opponent, (unlike a certain Mr Federer!!)and he just gets on with it....He is so gracious, everyone in Spain must be so proud of this great champion..Rafa here's to many years to come of you being no 1 ....
I think all three guys are decent guys. They have different personalities, Djokovic being louder than the other 2 but it's all in good fun! They're all pretty decent people in my opinion...::)
nadal deserved to win and fought very hard although i think he should of what in 3 sets. roger is a very good player to and fought hard to defend his title. RAFA WHAT A LEGEND :>
Roger is a champion is the n°1! he lost this wimbledon because he played not very well the first and the second set. But he s the n°1 for me because he s a champion, when he win and when he lose! Good match but roger is the best player in the world! Roger has saved 2 match point in 4° set and he won the set with courage!!! ROGER FOR EVER IN MY HEART AND ALWAYS N°1!!!
damn... i was too scared to watch final set - watched wen rafa hugged his family bt i hope sum1 posts last part of the match... i have to say roger had a brill comeback & wud have deserved 2 win... sorry for him bt i'm a big rafa fan & very glad he won... VAMOS RAFA!!! u're my NO! ^_~
Sorry, sounded really ignorant in my previous comment - i know this was 2008 just got confused because it wasn't by the BBC (which i'm used to). I'd love Rafa to win this, he really deserves it, though it would be a shame for Federer not to break Bjorg's record as he so wants to.
no offence to americans cuz i thin roddick has the best personality in tennis but its much better wen sue barker interviews the players ratha thn the americans and its the same at queens thers such a good feeling bout this tournament

Is this at the 2008 tournament? Nadal seems really different - maybe its with the American interviewers, is this like a USA studio at Wimbledon?
Really funny - i think slightly more relaxed than when Sue Barker interviews players.
