TONI NADAL TALKS ABOUT RAFAEL NADAL
7:12 to 7:39 : "Against Thiem, Nadal played aggressive, good forehand, backhand, few unforced errors. For me it was a very good match."
7:50 to 8:22 : "Rafa's draw may be pretty good, you still have to beat players who are on a winning streak. There's no easy match."
8:26 to 8:42 : "Mayer may have a single-handed backhand, he's a hard hitter."
8:52 to 9:35 : "I'm not impressed by Rafael but surprised because we know where he comes from : injuries, etc."
9:39 to 9:47 : Tuslane : "61 Wins, 1 Loss in RG.". Toni : "Yes, but the worst one."
10:00 to 10:18 : Maylin : "How does Rafa manage to keep the will to win, since 4yo, keep this intensity on each ball ? He's a lovable guy in real life but when he enters a tennis court, he turns into a beast."
10:18 to 10:53 : Toni : "He has the will. It's hard for a normal player to win. For Rafael it's even harder because of his injuries. He has a good mentality."
10:54 to 11:03 : "Rafael's back is OK. Physically he is OK. If he were were not OK I would say so."
11:15 to 11:40 : "It's true that Rafael was more nervous after his defeats, on clay especially. But he played well in RG so far."
11:48 to 12:12 : "When I saw Rafa play bad, it was hard for me because I wasn't used to seeing him play like that. But my coaching hasn't changed. Winning is always hard. Rafael is a normal player, he's not a star."
12:29 to 13:28 : "Whether Rafael plays great or not, I always tell him that he's not good enough. I rarely comfort him. I am severe because he's my nephew. Because I want him to get high. Because I know that it's good for him."
13:42 to 14:50 : "Rafael has kept the same team because I dont cost him anything (smiling) but also because when he does something wrong it's his fault, not mine, and he knows it.".
14:56 to 15:30 : Maylin asks if Rafa's topspin is less powerful than before because Djokovic or Gilles Simon could control it in Rome. Toni says that he will answer that question when Rafa's career is over.
16:00 to 16:25 : Toni : "Rafa moved well against Thiem, but not in Monte-Carlo or Rome."
16:35 to 17:55 : "People think that Rafa works a lot, actually he doesn't practice for a long time but with a lot of intensity. He practices as if he were in a real match."
18:10 to 19:36 : "What matters is not to be tired physically but mentally (...) I thank life that he's able to play again Roland Garros this year."
21:37 to 21:58 : Presenter : "You speak great French. So does Djokovic. Does Rafael tries to learn french ?". Toni : "Not a lot and to say the truth I think it's not normal because Majorquin looks like french, many words are similar."
21:59 to 22:04 : Tuslane : "But Rafa speaks english very well now !"
22:15 : Toni : "I don't watch female tennis a lot. Only the best matches."
