トニ叔父さん語る

ラファを悩まし続ける膝について「誰でも多かれ少なかれ故障を抱えているんだから・・・云々」

ナンバー１であるフェデラーとは年が離れているから、いつかはナンバー１になるチャンスがあると・・・、と水を向けられると、「テニス界は刻々変化しているから、そういう風には考えない。今はナンバー２だけど、デルポトロとか（ナルとかマレィとかガスケとかベルディフとかフェレールとか）が次のナンバー２になるかもしれない。・・・云々」

clipped from www.tennis.com Guiding Rafa: Toni Nadal interview Toni Nadal: It worries me, but that’s a problem we have to solve. Other players have their own. Rafa has to live with that. If you are No. 2 in the world, it’s less annoying, I guess. If we were 40th in the rankings, it wouldn’t be the same. In life, you’ve got to take things as they come. Q. About the No. 1 spot, your mindset could be that Federer is older, so Rafa could have the chance one day in the future... Toni Nadal: No, I don’t think that way, because tennis changes every minute. Now we are No. 2 and then you can have Del Potro… I didn’t mention him before, but he will be in the top group soon and he could be the next no. 2. Everything is relative here. You have to give credit to where you are: being the No. 2 player in the world with Federer as the only one up there, it’s a privilege.
