@genny_ss has been doing a great job today translating the quotes from Rafa's press conference.
Here are a few more which come via @davidjnadal ...
"What I want is to lengthen my career as much as possible."
"Currently, I'm not practising on court, but I try to keep my fitness at the gym and with physiotherapy.""I want to be fit, so that when I return on tour it is not difficult for me to pick up the pace."
"I want to be able to play at the OG in Rio."
"Of course I prefer being #2 than #3, but the ranking is not the priority now. The motivation is to compete to win ..."
"We'll follow a new approach. Probably from now on I'll have to play on clay more than on hard, which hurts me more."
"If I have to play less matches per year, I'll do it. If I have to modify which tournaments to play, I'll do it ..."
"I'll do anything provided my career gets longer". He has also confirmed that he suffers Hoffa's disease.
Thank you so much, Genny for your hard work and keeping us informed.
Lots of interesting quotes, thankfully most of them sounding positive. Very glad to note he has the goal of wanting to play in Rio 2016. I really hope he can achieve that. It's so not fair that injury has robbed him of so much of his career.
