Rafael Nadal's practice and interview in Manacor before his travel in Adu Dhabi. 30 Dec. 2015.
Rafa says his motivation & enthusiasm [for the new season] are the same as always. He's aware tennis isn't forever. He feels he's privileged for being able to be another season at the top & wants to enjoy it. He'll try his best for this to continue for as long as possible. He's happy w/ the preparation he's made & hopes to keep on having the same good feelings when the competition starts. His main goal is to compete & enjoy the competition, which is something he couldn't do during the 1st 6-7 months in 2015 & try to start 2016 as well as he finished 2015.
Toni says Rafa's level during practice has been really good & thus they have good expectations of having a good performance at AO. Although there's a long way to go yet, Toni says recovering the usual level on clay & winning another RG top the list of the goals to try to achieve but they will go day by day as always. They have the will & motivation to do things well, but in tennis it doesn't depend only on you, there are others who also have goals & motivation to get them... but, a priori, they're happy with the preparation they've done to face new season.
