Rafael Nadal shares why younger players fail to beat veterans on Tour
In an interview to Palladium Magazine, Rafael Nadal was asked why the younger players did not manage to breakthrough on Tour over the older players. "There are a lot of players with great potential, but then you have to be there in every tournament and be constant. Maybe this consistency is still missing, but there’s definitely a lot of quality. It would be hard to point out one or two players in particular. LikeI said, there are many", said Nadal.
Asked about what was his most special tournament, Nadal replied: "Fortunately, there have been many very special tournaments. I couldn’t possibly forget any of them. But no doubt Roland Garros is very special for me. Also Wimbledon 2008 with Federer, and Monte Carlo and Barcelona, two tournaments with a deep-rooted tradition behind them. Or my first tournament in Madrid, which was in an indoor court… I mean, I’ve had the chance to celebrate wins in many different places."
On how tennis evolved, Nadal added: "Tennis in general has changed a lot over these years. That’s normal, it’s a law of nature in this sport. Evidently, my tennis playing has also evolved in every sense. It has changed in just about every respect, including technical aspects. But especially as far as speed", concluded Nadal who will play Monte Carlo next.
