Rafael Nadal is one of the rare athletes who talks honestly about what he’s thinking. This last year or two he’s really been struggling, both physically and now mentally. Here’s what he said after a 6-7(8), 6-0, 7-5 win a Indian Wells yesterday, where he had to save a match point to win:
“A great victory...I’m very happy about it,” Nadal said. “I am especially happy about the mentality on court, the spirit of fight during the whole match, believing that I can win a match during the whole time even in the tougher situations.”
