Rafael Nadal gets candid about his state of mind
In his Roland Garros press conference, Rafa stated, “My goal is just to be everyday at 100%. And give myself the chance to produce the best result possible. So I am in the quarter-finals and very happy for that. I cannot say that I feel less pressure now because I am in the quarter-finals. I’m just focused on what I am doing, on trying to play better every single day.”
“Quarter-finals without having to lose a set and having very positive scores. So I can’t complain at all. Happy for that. What I have to improve? Don’t know,” he continued.
He further added, “I am doing a lot of things well, I think. The next opponent will be tough. If it’s Zverev or Sinner, it will be a tough battle. We’ll see what’s going on. But I am quite happy about the way that I am playing. In practice I feel better and better each time.”
“Today the conditions out there were so difficult. To play a fantastic match had been impossible. In general terms, I am very happy,” he concluded.
