Old news.
Rafa’s new watch was officially launched on May 23, 2015.
Rafa’s watch (not on his hand) and Richard Mille & Rafa before their press-conference on May 23:
Not sure that is what I want to hear right now. I want Rafa to have that 3rd set against Djoker in mind, get mad, say I played bad, I was shockingly bad. You know, I wanna see Rafa mad for a change instead of being sensibly philosophical.
I think he simply entered the match with zero belief @nadline10. It used to be that players lost the match in the locker room when playing Rafa, against Djoker in the quarterfinal it was Rafa who capitulated before the match started!
I hope Team Nadal change their pep talks with Rafa. Instead of stressing humility I want them to tell Rafa he is the best, better than all the rest, too good to be lagging behind Fed in Slam count.
I don’t want to ever see this timid Rafa that has high-jacked Rafa’s body. Be gone, imposter, be gone!
That’s why myself and some others here think that a sports psychologist could help! Some things a player cannot fix on his own. Whether they want to call this person by another name, Team Nadal needs to get someone asap to work with Rafa and get him to think like a champion again!
Nadal: ‘Among all the negative I have been feeling better’

The four step return of Rafael Nadal
Accept defeat, congratulate the opponent, analyze what happened and prepare the next challenges. These four steps are the manual for Rafael Nadal upon his return to Mallorca from Paris. The Spaniard has already taken the first two and prepares to rest a few days before taking the next two. Nadal accepts his defeat at Roland Garros highlighting the current superiority of Djokovic and confesses he is “happy” with the assurance that things “are going to get better.”
The winner of nine Coupe des Mousquetaires is clear that he has accumulated more success in Paris than he could ever have imagined when he started building his career ten years ago. The situation of a farewell in the quarterfinals allows you to regroup.
“I said it before, during and after the tournament: Roland Garros is neither my career nor are my options running out. There is a drastic change of gaining or losing” he says. “The life and career continue,” he concludes.
“My worst moment was losing the final in Australia without being competitive last year. Now I’ve lost a quarter-final, he was better and we must accept his superiority yesterday -for the Wednesday- and in recent times, so I have to work to continue to improve,” he says.
“I must follow the line of the last month and a half. I started the year with three months at a rather disastrous level on the tennis court, but I worked quietly and things are better and will get better,” he says. “Among all the negative I have been feeling better, it was not a bad tournament in terms of level of play,” he adds.

“………I think I did not play bad at Roland Garros.”
Not sure that is what I want to hear right now. I want Rafa to have that 3rd set against Djoker in mind, get mad, say I played bad, I was shockingly bad. You know, I wanna see Rafa mad for a change instead of being sensibly philosophical.
Rafa was so tight in that match, I agree that he ought to start being realistic although he did say as much in the piece augusta08 posted above.
I think he simply entered the match with zero belief @nadline10. It used to be that players lost the match in the locker room when playing Rafa, against Djoker in the quarterfinal it was Rafa who capitulated before the match started!
I hope Team Nadal change their pep talks with Rafa. Instead of stressing humility I want them to tell Rafa he is the best, better than all the rest, too good to be lagging behind Fed in Slam count.

Rafas main undoing are his negative statements , his self deprecation and he needs to talk positive language
That’s why myself and some others here think that a sports psychologist could help! Some things a player cannot fix on his own. Whether they want to call this person by another name, Team Nadal needs to get someone asap to work with Rafa and get him to think like a champion again!
