I worked very hard during the year for this comeback and as I have always mentioned, my goal is to be at my best level in three months, added the winner of 22 Grand Slam titles.

The guy exhausted his opponents. He was killing them. No one might sustain Nadal’s arm wrestling on clay. And then he managed to do it on other surfaces. It is his glory, his legend, his aura. »
“He doesn’t scare Rune, Alcaraz, even less Djokovic”
“If he doesn’t have that, if he arrives on court saying ‘physically, I wouldn’t last’, he’s dead. He no longer scares anyone, admits Maylin. He doesn’t scare Rune, Alcaraz, even less Djokovic. »
