Nadal: djokovic has not ended the time

133 days after retirement, Rafael Nadal appeared at the University of UAX in Madrid to share about playing sports and maintaining health. He also participated in the program of granting a physical therapy, nutrition and diet research.

In the meeting with students on April 3, Nadal said that tennis would change as humans were getting taller. He said: "Since its inception, tennis tennis is almost unchanged, even though players are higher, stronger and faster. A 2 -meter tall and good movement will soon appear and you cannot compete with him. Currently it has not come because Djokovic has just entered the finals of Miami expansion. He and those of the same stature are still the opportunity to succeed."

Nadal, Djokovic and Roger Federer have the same height of 1.85 m to 1.87 m. In their era, this is the standard height, which is considered the best to play tennis. Currently, the two players at the top of the ATP transcript are over 1.90 m high, Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev - who owns an excellent serve. However, people of 1.83 m tall as Carlos Alcaraz have been successful in recent years without depending on the serve. It was the match that Nadal lost to two sets, and was led 0-2 in Set Ba but then still won back. "I thought I would lose. The computer also predicted that Medvedev had 96% chances of winning. But I never let go of myself and always tried to find solutions for the problem. 4% for me is still worth fighting, it is always my point " "I played golf as a way of training my body. It was annoying that there was no longer the feeling of fighting and competition," Nadal said. "In return for my body and my mind, I calmed down after 20 years on the tour. Retired is not bad for me at all." The owner of the 14 Roland Garros among 22 Grand Slam said he only devoted himself to the field and returned home with peace. "The most fulfilling thing is that I overcome myself", the Spanish legend said. "Win or lose are things you cannot control. You play well but still lose, or you play badly and still win".

When a student asked about the secret of success, Nadal said he was not sure about any factors. "But I feel that I am the one who can control my emotions in pressure and important moments," he shared. "My career may have stopped very early when I was diagnosed with Muller-Wiiss syndrome. The failure to collapse at the time and trying to find a solution that changed all ".

at the age of 38, Nadal focused on operating the tennis academy named England. "King of the land" also has just opened a new hotel in the US, becoming an adviser for some universities and being ambassadors for sports organizations.
