Currently at home recovering from his French Open exploits, Rafael Nadal will not feature in the European hardcourt swing until the Paris Masters. The Spaniard explained why it was increasingly important for him to be attentive towards his schedule with every passing year.

“I am taking more breaks (each year) and the schedule that best suits me to be competitive,” Nadal said.

Famous for his strict training regime, Rafael Nadal further revealed how he was required to change his methods after an injury in 2005. The Spaniard now gives more importance to the intensity of the training.

“As for training, it is about doing it with maximum intensity, two hours or four. At twenty years old, I was at full capacity. Since 2005, due to a foot injury, we had to start to change," Nadal went on.

Rafael Nadal also spoke about the activities that he would like to pursue in the future, after retiring from tennis. Without fear of injuring himself, Nadal suggested that he would have a lot more freedom to ‘enjoy nature’.

“When I’m not worried about injuries tomorrow, I will do things like enjoy nature more,” Nadal continued.

Rafael Nadal then began to wax lyrical about the beauty of his home-town Mallorca. He also spoke about the positive impact that the sea had on him as a player.

“In Mallorca, we have incredible places,” Nadal said. “People stay on the beaches but we have places with beautiful interiors. And, of course, the sea. The sea gives me power when I return to the tournaments," explained Nadal.

If winning 20 majors still makes people say this then if rafa was injury free he would gave been greatest sportsman alive but then maybe he would have not got that eagerness and mentality to fight against adversity which has helped him
