สัมภาษณ์ราฟาเมื่อวานค่ะ "The Open? I'll be fresher, sure. Better? I don't know," said the world number two
"It is coming fast and I don't have a big preparation. I will do what I can," said the four-time French Open champion.
"It's impossible to think about the Open. You are talking about winning the Open. I'm talking only about being fit and recovering from my injury 100 per cent.
"When that happens and I feel confident on court and have some matches under my belt and am playing much better then I'll think about playing with my best condition at the US Open.
"My only goal now is to train hard and play well here in Montreal. I know it will be almost impossible (to win)."
"I have to keep working on court. We will have to see in a few weeks what my condition is," said Nadal, dampening down any expectations of defending his Canadian title from 2008.
"I'm just here to practise hard and to enjoy playing tennis. I hope to find my best performance as soon as possible. My goal here is to only practise hard and try to get the best performance as soon as possible.
"I don't know how many weeks I'm going to need. I will work hard to be ready in as few weeks as possible. After suffering an injury and being outside of competition, you have to be sure you are 100 per cent.
"My injury is not risky. I can have some pain. But it not a risk. I'm OK now."

สัมภาษณ์คุณลุงโทนี่ค่ะ Toni Nadal : « Rafael is at 60% »
By Jean-François Rérès (together with LC) RMC.fr 08/08/2009
Absent from the courts since two and a half months due to painful knees, Rafael Nadal, still recovering, will make his return to competition in the Montréal tournament that begins this weekend. Three weeks away from the US Open, his uncle/trainer Toni Nadal, doesnt have any illusions when talking about the current ambitions of the former world number one.
Toni Nadal, what do you expect from Rafaels return to competition? Toni: Getting back to the number one position is not the most important thing, but after two months and a half, its difficult to find his game again. Rafael is coming to Montréal to work, to find good sensations in his knees again, thats what matters. At this moment, the ranking is not important.
What has Rafael Nadal done since his elimination from Roland Garros? Toni: He is following the program as advised by the doctor of the Spanish federation (note from the editor: dr. Angel Ruiz-Cotorro). First, hes working with a physiotherapist and hes using magnetotherapy machines (note: a technique aimed at easing certain pains and symptoms, or to stimulate the healing process of fractures or scars after a surgical intervention). He started training again two weeks ago. Its not enough for a big tournament like Montreal but we have to look at how he will cope and try to come back step by step.
Rafael is not a full capacity. How high would you rate it? Toni: (long pause) Its difficult to say but I would rate him at 60%.
Is his return not rushed? Toni: If we want Rafael to play well at the US Open, he has to fight an uphill battle. He needs to find rhythm again in two tournaments before the US Open (note: Montréal and Cincinnati). He could not stay at home for ever (note: in Mallorca) because he lacks sparring partners there.
Can Rafael go far in this tournament in which he is the title holder? Toni : We will try to win a couple of matches but we know that it will be difficult because Rafael will encounter some big players (note: David Ferrer or Viktor Troicki). Its going to be tough.
Whats the moral of the player like ? Toni: He has made the mistake of wanting to play even though he wasnt feeling well physically. He will come back but we dont know at what level. A lot of players are very close in level. Its difficult to win from Djokovic, Murray, Tsonga, We dont know what will happen. The main worry of Rafael is to come back physically and the rest will follow. If he has a good preparation that will bring him back to the number one spot, perfect, but if he drops to place 21, we will cope with that.
Has this break allowed him to find physical freshness again ? Toni: Weve gone through a bad process with this entire thing. Hes a player who needs to have a very good physique but his game does not only lean on physical power. All the players need a thorough preparation, dont you think? Look at Roddick, Tsonga, Ferrer, Verdasco Rafaels knee problems are not linked to overcharging in training sessions.
Do you think that Rafael was also perturbed by the divorce of his parents? Toni: Listen, the divorce took place during the Australian Open, so thats more than six months ago. He has won the Australian open, Indian Wells, Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Rome No, Rafaels problem, I repeat it, are his knees. Of course, family is very important for Rafael and whats happened at his home is a sad thing to happen but thats not the cause of the problems in his tennis season. The problems are of a physical nature.
Could we hope for a return to the Nadal-Federer confrontations? Toni: Its going to be difficult to play against Federer because that would mean, reaching the final. Hes not yet at the level of winning several consecutive matches. In a few weeks, I hope that Rafael will be able to meet Federer again.
Was Rafael happy for Federer for winning the first Roland Garros title in his career? Toni: Yes, of course, the two men have a good relationship. Rafael is a good person. Its not good for his world ranking but he knows that its right for the best player of all time to win Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
Toni, would you allow us to bring up the polemic about the Parisian public that you triggered after Rafaels defeat against Söderling? Toni: For me, its a problem of attitude. Rafael has always been correct on court, with the public, in giving autographs, so it would seem normal to me that public returns that favor. I had the feeling that the public wanted to see Rafael lose. For example, I would never say that I would like Real Madrid to lose even though Im a Barcelona supporter Its something I dont understand in the Roland Garros public. Its not a correct attitude that I qualified as stupid, but it could just as well have taken place in a match opposing Real or Barça or some place else. I have nothing against the Parisian public.
The above promo contains something informally referred to as the "X-factor," which loosely translated means: "a hard-to-define and/or inexplicable but invaluable special quality." You cannot buy it, develop it, nor teach it. You either have it or you don't. Nadal overflows with it, and in a nutshell, the Tour needs him.
In closing, and to further illustrate the scope of Nadal's X-Factor, consider the following personal account given by a most distinguished member of the media, Ms. Cheryl Murray. Tennistalk's very own had the pleasure of meeting the Mallorcan face-to-face during the Masters Series Monte Carlo:
" I remember when I met Rafael Nadal. I was in Monte Carlo at my first ever on-site assignment trying to figure out where I was supposed to go, to whom I was supposed to address questions about dining options (apparently you can be bothersome quite easily in Monte Carlo) and the like. The announcements for press conferences come over loud speakers. "Nikolay Davydenko in the main conference room". Nobody moved. "Nicolas Kiefer in the small conference room". 2 German reporters participated in that one. "Rafael Nadal in the main conference room". At least 20 people made their way across the hall to watch the young Spaniard munch on potato chips (crisps to you British folks) and chat about his easy early-round match.
He flashed his impossibly white smile, yanked on his dreadful hair to keep it from falling in his eyes and charmed the entire room. I didn't ask any questions. Frankly there wasn't much to ask. His opponent had won just a couple of games in a largely uninteresting match - yet reporters peppered him with questions. I suppose they just wanted to talk to him. For myself, I was quite content to watch. After the English questions were done, He stayed to answer some questions in Spanish. As I filed out of the room with the other English-speaking reporters, I passed by Mr. Nadal (I think he'd finished his chips by then). There is...something about him. Maybe his old-fashioned politeness or just the fact that he seemed so comfortable in his own skin. Whatever the case, I felt compelled to smile at him. I hadn't expected anything in return. I just...felt like smiling. And Rafael Nadal smiled right back at me and gave me his most delightful yiddish-sounding "hccchellllooooo".
I can't say why that moment sticks in my mind except that in a room full of reporters, he made me feel welcomed. A guy who is hounded by reporters when he walks on the beach took the time to be nice to a nervous, unknown journalist. Is it any wonder that we are all so looking forward to his return to competition? "
