Rafael Nadal, the King of Clay, has always been a bright example of a great drive associated with mental toughness. Even if the Spaniard looked unbreakable for many years, he had to admit that in 2015 he was struggling a lot with his nerves.
How I fixed my mental struggle. NADAL
During a recent interview with the Daily Telegraph, Rafa commented
“In 2015 it was obvious that I had some problems. I was not able to be under control of my emotions when I was playing. I was too nervous and playing with a little anxiety.
This year I was a little bit unlucky with the wrist injury because I was playing great, so I’m looking forward to getting back to that level before I had my accident in Roland Garros … that’s my motivation now.
The Spaniard explained that the secret to fix these problems was “Working, talking a lot with my team and working hard every day.”
Nadal tomorrow will start his pre-season in Abu Dhabi where he will face Tomas Berdych in the first round of the Mubadala World Tennis Championship. If he wins, he will play Raonic in the semi-final.
There is a lot to test for Rafa.
