Rafa Nadal: "If I didn't think I had a chance of winning, I wouldn't be here"

Spoiler:

There was a lot of expectation to see Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros 2022 Media Day. After what happened last week in Rome and how he was seen with his left foot, in recent days, the sensations seem to have changed completely and even Moyà, his coach, was encouraged to say that he saw him better than in 2020, the year in which he won in Paris without losing a set. The Balearic was in a good mood, joking in some answers and gave details of how he is days before debuting in Paris, compared, for example, to how he arrived in Australia.

If the foot has recovered well

No, of course not. There's nothing I can recover from (laughs). I mean, what happened in Rome is something I've been suffering from for a few days, but now I feel better. That's why I'm here. I think everyone already knows what's happening to me, I already talked about it there after the game. This is something that can be improved and I hope this is the case here in Paris.

If you feel optimistic that it will not hurt in these two weeks

I don't think that's the goal. The pain is there, always. Will not go away. It is about seeing if it is high enough or not to be able to compete and have opportunities to win. I have already answered many times about my foot and I don't want to talk all the time about the same thing. I understand that it is normal, especially after what happened in Rome, but I live with this day by day and it is nothing new to me. I'm here to play tennis and do my best at Roland Garros. If I didn't think I had options, I wouldn't be here. I am working as much as I can. I just want to be healthy to play good tennis.

If you think that in Paris it is better than in the rest of the clay tournaments

I do not know. I have won 12 times in Barcelona, 10 in Rome and 11 in Monte Carlo. There may not be much difference. This year, I haven't had the best of preparations, but in sport, things change fast and the only thing I can do is be prepared in case change happens. There are players who are in better shape than me, without a doubt, it's true, but you never know what can happen the day after tomorrow. It's the same thing that happened to me in Australia.

If you think you are the favorite this year

No, sure not. The results say so, but I'm not worried. I am one of the candidates. Today, Friday, I say this, but you never know what can happen.

About the draw you have, having landed on the same side as other favorites

I wouldn't want to know anything about the painting. (???) I don't have that kind of problem. On a mental level, I don't care. In terms of tennis, of course the upper part is very tough, with many strong names, but we are in a Grand Slam and you never know what can happen. Arriving as it did, it is true that I would have liked another painting, but it is what it is. I just focus on my first game, on Thompson, and building my options from training and going day by day.

Comparison of how he arrived in Australia compared to Paris and that he looks lively

One has to accept the reality of each moment. I will not lack encouragement, from there, we have to build strength daily with work and optimism that things can get better. If we compare it with Australia, there are better and worse things. I arrived there with little preparation. There, the foot was better than it is now, it's true, and that allowed me to have more peace of mind. The fact that Ángel is here I think he can help me in that sense. Here, for different reasons, I have not been able to train as I would like. Because of the rib, and then, because the foot has given me more problems than I expected and I couldn't train the things that I needed to train for on the ground. I'm going to make an effort to have options to compete and then we'll see what happens. I am not one to speculate.

How he handles the external pressure that he believes that at each Roland Garros he must win

I'm almost 36 years old, I've won 13 times here and I know what's up. There is no writing in the press or opinion from fans that generates an extra 0.5% of pressure for me. The pressure I have is what I generate myself. I don't play to prove anything. I play for my motivation and personal challenges. I do what I think I have to do, with my team, so that things go the best way possible.
