Hi, Yes my intention is to play the ATP World Tour finals in London. Hope to see all you guys there.

Thanks

Hi and thanks for your message. I am happy to be back and we'll see how it goes. Montreal and Cincy will be good to see at what level I find myself. Thanks for your support. Rafa

Many thanks. I will play again so thanks again for your note and support. Sometimes people simply talk too much.

Hi, thanks for your message. I still don´t know. Will know at the end of this week. Hopefully, but still need to see if I am 100% fit.

I always felt great on that court, so hopefully I'll get more support next year now that I lost... In any case many thanks for your message!

Many thanks for your message, for the Birthday message and I am happy you started again to play tennis. It is the best!!!

Hi, I think my schedule is right. We prepare the season carefully and knowing what's best. Then it could change. But Madrid is an important event since it is played in Spain. We agree that it is not the best to prepare for Roland Garros since the conditions are different, but I like to play in front of my people. Thanks anyway!

Good and you?

I decided to change. I like it. Hope you too!

Hi and thanks for your tip. I´ll try to do it more often. Here you go one big smile for you :-))

Carol, knees are well, just needed some rest and that's what I am doing since otherwise I wil arrive to the end of the season in the same way as last year. Thanks

Hi Vivian, thanks a lot for your comments. I just try to stay clm during the important points and focus on what I would like to do. Important NOT to lose concentration. Thanks

Hi Ana,  I have been at the Estoril Open and played there. I had to retire after I won my match against Gasquet back in 2004. I don't know if I'll be back, you never know. Nowadays the tennis calendar is really busy so it is difficult for me and I have to chose the tournaments carefully. Moito obrigado.

Thanks Shubha,

No, I cannot play mixed doubles and not thinking about it. I don't even play doubles at the Grand Slams. We don't have much time and the most important thing we need to be focussed and rest for the already tough singles matches. Thanks for your support. Rafa

Hi Noni and thanks. Happy Christmas to you too. I will be at home tonight with all my family. Special moments since we all gather together. You know that in Spain tonight is the big night where we all get together. Then I am leaving on the 31st to Abu Dhabi for the exhibition. Enjoy !!! Rafa

Hi, I like very much a Spanish band called "La Oreja de Van Gogh" (http://www.laorejadevangogh.com/) and to be honest I like all their songs.

They played on Tuesday at the event we organized against the Malaria and I had the luck to meet them also afterwards at the dinner and party. Really nice guys too !

Hello and thanks. My knee is much better. I am practicing and getting ready for the 09 season. Many thanks

Hi Luca, yes I am coming to Monte Carlo. It is one of my favorite tournaments in the world and by far the most beautiful. Thanks

Hi Kirstie,

The only thing I can do these days is rest. I am not supposed t do any sport at all until Saturday. Then on Monday I will go back to Barcelona, do some more tests and try to play and see if I have no pain. The doctor tells me that the body needs to do its work and regenerate. That's all.

Thanks for the support

Thanks a lot. In chronological order, Paris, Wimbledon, Beijing and Davis Cup lol. They all are important, so, at this moment, Roland Garros. After that, we’ll see. Winning everything you say would be unbelievable.

Actually, it’s almost unbearable. It reminds me a lot the Wimbledon tournament of the last year. Today I only played 7 minutes at 7’30 p.m. after leaving the hotel at 8’30 a.m. I warmed up a bit at 3 p.m., for about 17 minutes. But the situation is the same for the two players, that’s the fact.

Well, let’s see how I manage to finish the first half before thinking in the second one, right? This year has been the best one in my entire career, you only have to take a look at the points I’ve obtained and the regularity in every tournament besides Roma. I hope the second half of the year will be that good.

About reaching the number one… we’ll see, I’m not thinking that much about it.

Djokovic is playing really well, and he’s a total player. But, at the forefront it’s Federer, and in the race we are side by side. This is a very good year, especially for the fans. We’ll see how it ends. I hope everything will go well.

Hi Emilio, thanks a lot. I don’t think they know it was about to rain. Thinking about advantages would be an error. Things have come like this, that’s all. The first affected for the situation, besides ourselves the players, is the organisation. It’s just a matter of luck.

Someone could say that situation benefits me, because I have more days to rest. It all depends on who you ask. However, I would prefer to have played, for sure.

That question is a difficult one, trust me. The biggest fish I captured was about one meter long, I think, in Mallorca.

She is a great person, and we'll miss her a lot in the tournaments. But it's her decision and I'm sure it will be a good choice. She wants to start a family... It's logic.

Well, I don't know it at this time.

I can't pick a single one. I have a lot of memories and obviously the Copa Davis' match against Roddick comes immediately to my mind, as well as the two finals of Roland Garros. I usually remind every game I play.

No, I don't.

Pam, I try as hard as I can to keep concentrated, but sure I can listen people shouting my name and giving me their support. I have to thank all of you for that.

Normally I just give them to my fans or friends. I always keep at least one for me, thinking about the future...
