The Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal transferred the pressure at the end of the Australia open to held this Sunday to his adversary, Serbian Novak Djokovic, to ensure that this is the favourite to be number one, playing on the track better given and having him win six times last year.
“The mental advantage is for himself and is favorite for playing on the track that will better.” What has been won, their confidence is above. He is the favorite, is the number one. “But is the pressure, as if WINS will be maintained and, if not win, he will have lost a final against a player whom he had won the last six times”, recalled.
Challenged by how he sees this year to Serbian, he said that “he played very well throughout the tournament, without errors, to a very high level”.
“Yesterday at times seemed more tired, but it is hard to believe.” “See it with tiredness gestures during the match, but two hours later still running equal and I do not know until that point is real, or perhaps a shield, he noted.
For that reason, Nadal did not believe that it will influence much to Djokovic in the final having had one less day of rest and the tough semifinal that had before the Scot Andy Murray.
“I see it very well physically, do not believe that it will happen much Bill.” If you go back to a game four hours it is possible that you’re more tired. “I’ve had two days of rest but have also played longer matches,” he recalled.
“I hope be OK for tomorrow and I guess that he will think that it will be well also.” “If I I recovered from the party before Verdasco 5 hours in 2009, it is logical that he recovers from a party that was a little less intense and in which they played a little bit less than time”, continued.
“I have made a leap upwards”
For his performance in the tournament, Nadal said he is happy of how the season has begun. “Every morning is to win, because I have almost nothing to lose.” “I’ve already added more than last year, I have started better than had been imagined, both mental and tennis level, he said.
“Whatever happens, I have gone up.” I leave this tournament quite stronger than when I arrived. My tennis and mental feeling is that I have made a leap upwards. Happy am, no matter what happens, although if win I’ll be happier than if lost. “Win a Grand Slam is a matter of utmost happiness”, he added.
The Spanish gave as an example the cup of Real Madrid match before the Barcelona by stating: “did a very good match the day of the Club and he was satisfied at home, viewers assume that also, but in the end happy all you won’t because you have lost”.
In the final, Nadal believes that he should “try a good percentage of services, to get some free point and from there be strong from the bottom of the track, to make you feel that you have to play all points well”. “I play aggressive, and my better tennis because, if not, it is virtually impossible”, admitted.
In the case of winning the final, the number 2 in the world would add his 11th Grand Slam title and would be five of the record kept Roger Federer.
“I am ten and I’m happy with my ten titles.” I have 25 years and a half and I do not know how many they will end. Ten is much better than he had imagined years ago. What I have career try to add things to my resume. “I see almost impossible to win six more, but I’m going to fight to be prepared and compete,” he noted.
