Rafael Nadal: 'Philippr Chatrier will look very different next year'
Rafael Nadal will be the favourite heading into the French Open after winning his ninth Rome title and in a press conference, he commented on the Philippe Chatrier Stadium going through renovations. "I saw a picture. Looks great. Still open, still not closed. Is a different stadium, but the feeling probably will not be very different. Probably by next year going to be, yes, a bigger difference. This year I don't see a big difference. I saw the court, still open. The wind going to be the same as always. The court is still big. What's different is probably the stands. That will not have a big impact on the game. I am going to be there with time enough, as always. I going to repeat my normal routines. For sure I can't wait to be there and have the feeling, see the stadium, watch all the new great things that Roland Garros is doing", said Nadal.
On how he is able to go through bad times, Nadal added: "You work mentally when you go on the court every day. You don't complain when you play bad when you have problems when you have pains. You put the right attitude, the right face. You are not negative about all the issues that happened if I am playing bad if I have physical problems. You go on the court every day with the passion to keep practising. That's the mental work, no? That's something that I did during all my career, not being frustrating when the things are not going well, not being too negative. That's why I was able to always have the chance to be back. Here we are. Important title, important moment. Now is the moment to keep going."
