Emotion with perspective ...

At the end of the presser, Nadal was asked if he was going to do anything tomorrow to commemorate the day. This was hardly a fair question, and unless Nadal really had planned to have a moment of silence at 8:46 Sunday morning—which, of course, he hadn't—there was really no good way for him to answer it. But he found one, anyway.

“Tomorrow I’m going to be at the hotel,” Nadal said. “So, you know, I cannot do much. You can have silence in memory of them, but the pain is done. It’s difficult to accept, and the way to . . .” There Nadal stopped and repeated the only true thing that he could say: “You cannot do much. Just remember the moment and have the support for the families.”
