Tennis Star Rafael Nadal Remains in Limbo

Not sure defeat to David Ferrer in Monte Carlo affect him more than necessary. He refuses, but something is happening to Rafael Nadal for not regaining his confidence. He lost in the quarterfinal against Nicolas Almagro in Barcelona Open again in the quarterfinals. “He played too tight and that prevents him from returning to his best,” says Toni Nadal. The point is that in their debut in the Tournament of Barcelona, his club, Nadal suffered much over the odds to defeat an inspired Albert Ramos, who took the tie break in the original manga and 6-4 in the second after an hour and 56 minutes.

That’s not usual. Ramos played at a high level, adjusted for baseline and occasionally breaking up the game with balls and balloons left. But that is not usually a problem for the world number one. Nadal is not right. His balls lack depth and do not have the ability to overwhelm opponents. Now, earn the most points by exhaustion overflow. And besides, is very irregular. It is not that tight, invulnerable player whose mindset dismantled all its rivals. Not the man of the 13 Grand Slam titles. He lacks confidence. It is probably only a matter of a couple of games to finish cleaning his head bad memories and recall the feelings that now is not on the track.

Seems to have not yet forgotten the Australia Open final he lost with back problems, compared to Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka. “I had prepared thoroughly for that tournament. Generated insecurity And lose me and a mental letdown,” confessed shortly after arriving in Barcelona, where you get the Sport and Culture prize in his sporting side. Yes there his punches flow naturally and it shows you have good feelings. The victory over Ramos can help you pick the pulse of the competition, because he was able to win without playing their best. And now he will face Croatian Ivan Dodig, who at 29 seems to have already given the best of her tennis career. Since last February have won a game and lost three times in the first round. For Nadal, it may be a good time to regain confidence.

“I played dull but with passion and intensity,” admitted Nadal. “It was an important match for me and I think I’ve faced with the right attitude, accepting my mistakes and forgetting the points I lost.” Nadal won his 40th straight win at the tournament in Barcelona. ” Today I experienced the whole game because I have not played my usual level, but the motivation and enthusiasm are always there. Sensations are recovering slowly. Better hope to play against Dodig.”

Nadal seemed confident and was looking for his 9th title in Barcelona Open but lost 2-6, 7-6, 6-4 to Nicolas Almagro, just a week after going out in the quarterfinals of the Monte Carlo Masters to David Ferrer. Nadal was shocked once again in the span of a few weeks.

What is already clear is that the hypothetical final between Rafael Nadal and David Ferrer was frustrated at the debut of the Valencian David Ferrer. The of Javea, 32, lost to Russian Teymuraz Gabashvili, 28, 6-4, 6-2 in 1 hour and 21 minutes. Gabashvili had not passed the second round of the Barcelona tournament eight times he had participated. Ferrer, however, played four late – he lost to Rafa Nadal, but last year also succumbed the day of its debut in the second round.

Ferrer, 5th global player, won this year’s tournament in Buenos Aires, but it seems to be going through its best game. Fell in the Australia Open quarter- final against Berdych and last week removed Rafa Nadal for the first time on clay in the last 10 years in the quarterfinals of the Open de Montecarlo, before being defeated by the Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka in two rounds.
