Rafael Nadal a disputé plusieurs matchs en un seul ce lundi, à Madrid. Opposé à l'Argentin Pedro Cachin, le Taureau de Manacor a d'abord été impérial en écrasant son adversaire, tétanisé dans la première manche (6-1). Plus décomplexé, ce dernier a tout de même réussi à faire douter son adversaire dans le deuxième set, jusqu'à la remporter (6-7[5]), avant de flancher après plus de 3 heures de jeu : 6-1, 6-7(5), 6-3. Sur le court, l'ancien n°1 mondial a une nouvelle fois martelé avec son mot d'ordre à Madrid : profiter.

00:00 How do you plan to prepare for tomorrow's game?
00:03 I cannot have any concern in terms of playing tomorrow's game.
00:07 That's how the tournament works.
00:10 I need to find a way to be able to play days in a row and still be competitive.
00:18 I don't know if I am in that moment yet.
00:22 Let's see what can happen tomorrow.
00:25 But I'm going to try. I'm going to do the things the right way to try to be ready for tomorrow.
00:32 I cannot concern at all. I'm just happy to be on court again tomorrow, hopefully.
00:36 I hope to be ready.
00:38 You've played three hours today and you won.
00:43 I'm wondering if somehow it's a good sign for the weeks to come?
00:46 Or is it too soon to say that because you've played three hours today,
00:49 you'll be ready to play this tournament, the next and all along the house?
00:53 It's positive because as I said in Spanish,
00:58 now I don't feel that something went wrong on my body.
01:05 But I need to wait until tomorrow to be 100% honest.
01:09 In Brisbane, after the match with Jordan Thompson,
01:15 I felt something there but I hope on the press conference
01:20 I had the faith that nothing wrong happened.
01:25 But then it happened.
01:27 When I woke up the day after,
01:30 my feelings were not the way that I really thought they could be.
01:37 So then I had to go through all the process,
01:41 do the MRI and it shows that I had a small tear there.
01:47 I don't have that negative feeling now like I had in that moment.
01:56 Nobody knows what can happen during the night and how I wake up tomorrow morning.
02:00 And that's the truth.
02:01 I'm not saying that because I'm trying to protect myself.
02:06 I'm talking with my heart and saying exactly the feelings that I have right now.
02:12 So let's wait for tomorrow.
02:15 I hope nothing happens and I hope to be on the court tomorrow.
