I didn't have time to make subtitles. He says that he has retired. Rafa didn't call him to pratice, it's the tournament that provides sparring-partners to the players. So he offered his help during this tournament. Devilder faced Rafa in an official match of Roland Garros 2008. He says that practicing with him is totally different. Rafa hits much harder during practice, plays with intensity in order to arrive confident on the court. Unlike the official matches, Rafael Nadal makes a lot of unforced errors during practice. He says that he is a really nice guy offcourt, that he respects everybody. Devilder found Rafa's match against Almagro good, he feels that Rafa is getting better and better each match and that he's getting confident. He says that before practicing with Rafa, you must be really fit because after an hour and a half, you're exhausted.
