TRAINING, RECOVERING, AND PREPARING FOR NEXT WEEK’S TRIP TO LONDON
June 13, 2009
So far, there hasn’t been any changes to Rafa’s schedule and there’s not that much new to report about. He is back training at the moment and working on his recovery like he told us here, through his website, last Tuesday.
The plans remain the same, which means that Rafa will travel to London next Tuesday 16th of June.
The only thing new to tell you guys about is that Francis Roig is in Manacor, helping out with the training and preparation of our champion.
"I am going to give my 200% to be ready for the most important tournament in the world. The tournament that I always dream about. I will not go out and play, especially on the Wimbledon Centre Court, if I am not 100% ready to play."
"I have 2 difficult weeks ahead of me, especially because I won't be doing what I like doing most, which is to play tennis, but I will be working on my recovery through physiotherapy treatments as well as recovery work on the specific muscular area," said Rafa last Tuesday.
RAFAEL PUTS SUCCESS DOWN TO HOME COMFORTS AND A QUIET LIFE
We'd like to share with you this amazing article written by Simon Kinnersley from the The Times.

“I have achieved all my dreams. My desire to win and the passion is still there, so too is my wish to keep practising and improving. But I am aware that once you get to No 1 in the world, the only way is down. Whether it is tomorrow, next year or in five years’ time, it will happen.
“But that is something that doesn’t worry me, because that is the nature of sport. If you are not prepared to lose and accept defeat, then you shouldn’t be playing. I know that I’ve been very fortunate, and if it all ends now, I’ve had a fantastic career and the privilege to live a life that most people never have the chance to experience. I will get my rod and go fishing.”
