I did, and they are, they should just ask uncle Toni instead if there is something they want too know about Rafael
Well yeah, and imo what comes out of Nadals mouth is what Uncle T planted there. "Make everybody happy"This is true, Uncle Toni is a lot more forthcoming with the press than Nadal. Not saying Nadal lies, he just isn't as outspoken as Toni tends to be.
We are talking about Rafael Nadal, the tennisplayer from Mallorca.Nadal press conferences are hilarious. The press love him because he's warm and conversational and not stand-offish
Its not that Nadal's interviews are boring. Its that they lack substance. Spanish is my native language and Ive seen his interviews in spanish and they still leave much to be desired. The guy is just not an eloquent speaker / not the most intelligent. What can you expect from a guy who spends his life playing tennis I guess.
This interview is just like any other. The only excitement was questions regarding the guy ran up to him which Nadal had no influence in. He took it well because Nadal is genuine and a nice guy.
This is a Nadal interview in english
Commentator - Nadal, great match today. What are you doing to prepare for your match tommorow against XXX player.
Nadal - well, eh, yes XXX is a very good player. Very big "insert forehand or serve here." I will have to play my berry best tennis to beat him. I will try my best.
etc. etc. etc.
Always the same generic response. Wish he would insert some meaning into those interviews but thats just me.
No question federer's, blakes, roddicks, etc. interviews are more enlightening.
Great post !
Thats because he doesnt know how to express all excuses in English, and the reason its funny listening too is because it sounds horrible.Nadal is very humble at interviews and can always provide a good laugh, plus hearing his English is always a lot of fun.
As far as i know they are not there too be funny?He provides at least one good laugh in almost all his press conferences. Federer never does.
Also, if you aren't interested in the player, then I guess you wouldn't find his interviews that important. But if you are, then they are.

Yo, Nadal, Imma let you finish, but Andy Roddick has the best press conferences of all time!
LOLz.Yep.Roddick's pressers rule :lol:Yo, Nadal, Imma let you finish, but Andy Roddick has the best press conferences of all time!

Yes we are. The guy who's fun, sexy, sometimes goofy, charming and candid. Him, that's right.
Yes federer needs to loosen up a bit, but maybe that's just the swiss way and there is not all that can be done.
Warm yes. Conversational? The man barely speaks English. When he does talk, he's the king of talking yet saying nothing.
The press don't like that. They want one liners that they can use as a headline. Have you ever seen an article about Nadal called, "He's a good player, no?"
Was that the reason for Nadal being given this award?
Ana Ivanovic and Rafael Nadal have been awarded the 2008 Ambassadors of the Year award by the International Tennis Writer's Association (ITWA). The award is given to the players who are most consistent and open in cooperating with the world media.
Uhm yeah ok whatever...Yes we are. The guy who's fun, sexy, sometimes goofy, charming and candid. Him, that's right.
Uhm yeah ok whatever...
Too me Nadal is extremely boring and he cant speak his own mind, even another poster who is Spanish said this!! He is the same way in Spanish interwiews,everything he says is what Uncle Toni wants him too say.
Extremely boring and grumpy.
The funniest thing he has ever done was probably go out with Xisca until 8,05 pm when he should have been home 7,45!!
Hey aphex, how are you?lolol
this sums up the most boring person on planet earth
Hey aphex, how are you?
Yeah, imo he is!
Good to hear thatall good my friend
and you?
federer is interesting as a dead fish!
Wouldn't go that far. Fed can be pretty entertainning himself at the press confrences.
However, the king of great press confrences has to be Roddick. Too good.
