Nadal says his body no longer responds as before
Paris: Spanish tennis ace and World No.3 Rafael Nadal admitted that though his body no longer responds the way it did when he was 20 years old, he still maintains the same determination and the same desire to win titles.
In an interview with the French sports newspaper L’Equipe Wednesday, the Spaniard, 28, admitted that the older you get, the more difficult it becomes to deliver a high performance.
Nadal, who Jan 9 won the doubles championship in Doha alongside Juan Monaco of Argentina, pointed out that he worked out at a very high rate to keep his performance at the highest level.
“I do what I have to do to restore my best performance. I want to do so,” Nadal said, voicing confidence in his ability to do just that.
Nadal acknowledged that in his career he has at times been lucky, because despite facing disappointments, he has experienced a lot of positive moments.
The Spaniard, at the same time, considered himself less fortunate than other competitors like Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
