The man who conducted the conversation did a great job, he really understands him and he had some earlier interviews with Toni and Rafa.
Listening to him speak in Spanish is a totally different experience to just reading the words. He talks about his parents a lot, how they never forced him to do anything including tennis. He tells a story about how once as a kid he lost a match against someone who was much worse then him and he cried in the car on the way home and they told him that if he's not happy with tennis he should do other things, go fishing or to the beach and that he shouldn't practice that much. Then they took him to eat gambas so he stopped crying.
He also talks and jokes about Toni, his influence, how he always knew everything he did and told him was for his good but how he can't critic him that much these days cause he could be fired. That's a joke of course.
He talks about Wimbledon 2008 and especially about one point in the 3. set tie break when he was up 5-2, he had 2 serves and he said to himself to be aggressive (something he always does since being a kid), 1. serve was out and then between the 2 serves in his mind he knew he was gonna make a double and then he did. He says this never happened to him. This was also in relation to his mentality as his biggest weapon. He mentions Toni sleeping during one of the breaks and how during the second break he told him he better not be sleeping again. He told Toni not to worry and that he's confident he'll win.
He's happy with his team and very lucky to be surrounded by very good people in the first place and that he knows he only needs to focus on tennis since they take care of other things. Of course he knows about everything they do but it's not something that should impact his focus on tennis.
In the beginning he talks about the divorce, how that was the first time he was faced with a big private issue like that. His family was always very united and still is and it was a big change, he needed to accept it and get used to it little by little. He wanted to make things better but then he realized he needs to find his place, his path which is focusing on tennis, keep playing, winning and have illusions.
They also talk about his life in Majorca, how he's lucky people there treat him the same, he doesn't hide and he's not bothered about autographs and stuff. He was asked about his grandfather - the orchestra conductor by an older lady. He thinks music is the reason he's still happy, he still listens to opera and classical music.
That's all I can remember now but there was much more.
