In Majorca, I can be myself. I go to the supermarket and the cinema, and I am just Rafa. Everyone knows me, and it is no big deal. I can go all day - no photographs.

You just try to play tough and focus point for point. Sounds so boring, but it's the right thing to do out there.

There are many moments during a match when you are tense, wrestling with yourself. Tennis is a lesson in self-control.

I love the beach. I love the sea. All my life I live within - in front of the sea.

Why would I want a place of my own? Then I would have to things worry about, like doing laundry and having food in the fridge.

There is some moments on the career of everyone that are important ones. Is obvious that first title on clay makes a big difference. After that, I was confident enough to keep going, winning in Barcelona, in Rome, then in Roland Garros.

If somebody says I am better than Roger, I think this person doesn't know anything about tennis.
