When you get older, if you are healthy, is not a problem. If you don't have the health, then you go home.
A lot of times I had some problems, but I always had the passion and the personal motivation to keep going, to keep working hard, keep fighting for the things that really motivates me. That's all.
Everybody is doing the best things possible to still healthy and to play as long as possible.
Barcelona, the tournament is, for all the Spanish players, an amazing event. I think is one of the top events on tour because is a historic event with a lot of tradition. A lot of years of the tournament, a lot of great players have been playing there. And it's in a real tennis club.
If you are healthy, you can work. If you can work, then the chances of success are higher.
I think is about confidence. Is about doing the right things. Is about being healthy. Is not about if I want to work or if I don't want to work. Is about if I can work or if I can't work.
There is some moments on the career of everyone that are important ones. Is obvious that first title on clay makes a big difference. After that, I was confident enough to keep going, winning in Barcelona, in Rome, then in Roland Garros.
For me, that's the most important thing, feel myself happy when I am playing. If I am healthy and I feel myself competitive, I am happy. Then is obvious I would like to win. But I know if I am in finals of important events, the normal thing is I finally win titles.
Is always the motivation to play better and better. But I think we are in a very good way to keep winning matches. That's most important thing for me.
I am satisfied the way that I am playing. Is obvious that there is always things to improve.
I feel lucky to keep playing tennis, being healthy all those years, to compete in one of the most beautiful events of the year, without a doubt.
Win 10 times in an important event like Monte-Carlo is something difficult to describe the feeling. Every year have been a different feeling. At the same time is always a unique moment every time I have this trophy with me.
What happened happened. Important thing is what can come.
I am not a person who I am thinking about what I achieved or what I don't achieve. I am a person who try to enjoy the moment. That's what I do.
I don't expect never an easy match. I always expect difficult matches.
Seriously, I am not a person that I think much about what happened or what didn't happen or what could happen. I happy about the things that happened to me. I'm a lucky person, for sure, for all the things that happened to me during my life.
I don't think about how going to be the match. I think about try to do the right things to win. I don't think about how easy can say or how tough can say. I go on court. I try my best.
Most important thing, I am not a player who win the serves because I serve aces or free points, no. When I winning a lot of serves is because I am playing well from the baseline. That's why.
I take pleasure in tennis and the hope that it requires.
It is no longer enough to play very well. You need to be able to give an answer at all times and everywhere. You cannot hide. This has something to do with maturity, and that is something you only acquire over the years.
I am going to fight for important things.
Tennis is beautiful when you can see tactics, when players don't just react but are able to act and think.
Certainly I would like to have some of the qualities of other players and obviously from Roger Federer. But believe me, there are plenty of other abilities that are important, particularly mindset and strength.
Today people hit the ball with much more strength. Almost every player is capable of playing a winning stroke from any position. This means the balls arrive more quickly. If you want to reach them, you have to slow down from a high speed or suddenly change direction. These are moments when you can injure yourself, and that's what wears us out.
I do notice that I am tired.
