"I don't know how long I will be playing tennis again ...". Of course the phrase is contextualized: the Majorcan comes from a long period any operation, which saw him jump events of great importance. Three months away from fields may bring a dowry of evil thoughts: "in five years I will have 31 years and I started when I was 16 ... who knows maybe I took a break will help me to lengthen his career a little more. This was definitely one of the best times of my life if it had not caused the knee injury. I felt fit and capable of winning every tournament they entered. Then came hard times. I want to get back only if fit, to have fun in the field ". The Spanish champion, currently world number 4, focused also on the finals at Wimbledon a few years ago: "In 2006 when I got to the end I was very happy. Losing in 2007 was very difficult to accept. I played very well throughout the match, then at the end of the fourth set I felt a twinge in my knee and I has. In the fifth set I played really bad. When you lose you never really know if that was your last chance to win Wimbledon so I was very sorry. Win helps mental level because you feel you have given that little bit more. " The most beautiful victory of Rafa? There is no one in particular. " Success is not so much the winning trophy but everything that led you to conquer it. What makes me happy is the certainty of having done everything possible. For example, this year I lost the final in Australia and, of course, is one thing that I didn't like, but somehow I was happy. It was a success to lose that way because I fought until the end "
