XL Semanal came with an interview with Rafa. I've put it through a Google mangle, so I hope you can get the gist of it ...
Rafael Nadal: "I am grateful to readers for choosing XLSemanal among so many good athletes"
XLSemanal. What has been your best, the happiest, the past 25 years?
Rafa Nadal. lot. I can not say one in particular, because I was almost always happy. I've been surrounded by very good people, and that's the most important.
XL. Even sports have a better time, a special victory ...
RN No one could tell. I can not say if I was happier winning Roland Garros or Wimbledon. I've been happy many times.
XL. The readers choose among sports wide margin. Neither the players will make shade. Why do you have so much support?
RN do not know. I am grateful to the readers who have chosen me. There are many prominent Spanish athletes. I imagine that, when choosing one, you do a little more personal, the way you drop one or the other.
XL. He believes that is so valued by his personality, his right image ...
RN . I think I'm naturally within what fits. I try to say what I think, almost always.
XL. But taking care not to injure any sensitivity ...
RN not think. When I had to discuss, I have not. But sometimes it's complicated. I have my opinion on many issues, but I do not always have to say it ... or want.
XL. An obvious question: when will he return?
RN do not know. I will return when fully recovered. That's the priority.
25 years is nothing
Where were you in 1987?
In the crib, I imagine. Was one.
What event would highlight the last quarter century?
The 9-11 is what struck me most. He caught me with a game in Madrid. The image of the plane and the towers falling ... A few months earlier he had been up there with my family.
