I am a young amateur tennis, and I must say that every time I see you, I have more desire to play and to surpass myself. But one thing I can not avoid in every tournament and are the initial nerves. I would ask you, what you do few minutes before leaving to the court to calm these nerves (if it happens to you too), if you take something, you do the same thing, you pray all that you know... Thank you for all, you're the inspiration to many people. Thanks and encouragement. Hello and thank you very much. I have my own "ritual" in the locker room that I always do. But nervous you always are,of course that depending on the round and the tournament. I always try to listen music, think about the match and what I have to do. We are get used than other people logically. My advice is to think of what to have to do and always try it. If goes well and if not it will have another chance. 2.-Hello Rafa , congratulations on your victory against Fer. We've seen you very rare, as a medium gas ... Something was happening to you? Was it because the weather was plumbous? had you a headache? Why did you call the doctor and then you have not treated? Thanks and good luck against Nico. No,I was fine and I was raring to go. No problem. Only I had that little dizzy which I spoke to the press but that was when we started to play. 3.- Hello Rafa , what do you think about Carla Suarez? she is reaching far in this tournament, quarter-finals. I would like that two Spaniards will win. Ah congratulations for your birthday, now you're a man, 22 years. What do you feel of celebrating it again at Roland Garros? It seems very good to me for her and it is good for the women's Spanish tennis. Ojalá and she continues much further forward. 4.- Hello Rafa. Sometimes I discuss with friends and tell them you have room to serve faster, that you don't do it to improve placement, rates and effect. However, if you'll serve flatter you surpassed more players of the circuit, I do not think your muscles bother you because you are elastic, I wait your answer. A hug. Thank you very much. I will talk with Toni although if I tell you the truth we talk a lot about these things ... 5.- Hello Rafa, a former Argentine tennis player Guillermo Vilas once said that winning a easy match is for the statistics, but leaves nothing for analysis. Is it true that in the high competition is better win a closed match that a comfortable one? What conclusions you can obtain after the triumph before Verdasco? What is talked with the team after an unexpectedly so easy victory ? The important thing in tennis is to win at the end. Sometimes you feel better and other worse. Sometimes you win without playing well and others lose playing well. Best win, believe me. Of course, if you also play well and you win you are then with confidence and is better. Thank you very much. -- --
