“Nobody knows how Rafael Nadal spent these months,” said top coach

Rafael Nadal won Roland Garros for the thirteenth time and clearly beat Novak Djokovic in the final. The Serb could not worry his opponent and proudly admitted at the press conference: “I don’t have much to say other than that I was overwhelmed by Rafa, by far the best player on the field.

He didn’t do anything wrong, he threw back every ball and played great tactically. I felt good during the tournament and thought I was in great shape. Of course I could have played better, especially in the first two sets, but I was amazed by the way he played, the quality of the tennis he produced, the level.

I mean it’s phenomenal. He was a perfect fit, especially in the first two sentences. “With this success, Spanish champion Roger Federer has reached 20 slams and now seems to be the main favorite to become the player with the most majors in his career.

Carlos Moya spoke to ABC and praised Rafael Nadal very much.

Moya on Rafael Nadal

“Nobody knows how Rafael Nadal spent these months,” said Carlos Moya. “Of course it was a very unusual year, but for everyone.

Many factors play a role: mental, adjustment, coping as well as possible, overcoming bad times … They have been there in the last few months, but we were clear about the goal and tried to express it above all.

The goal was to get back to old Rafa, a competitive Rafa who enjoys tennis. That goal has been achieved, “exclaimed Moya. Moya, himself a former French Open champion, claimed that the past few months had not been easy for anyone.

“People who don’t see everyday life weren’t aware of what those months were. They weren’t easy, but hey, in the end he had an incredible attitude. It was possible to achieve with a lot of work, everyday life wasn’t easy .

In addition to his head and what he could think of, there was the situation that affected the whole world, “Moya said.” We had to act as psychologists for the whole team. Those of us who were with him every day weren’t workers, we had to be friends.

There were moments of uncertainty, difficult moments. There was no routine, especially at the beginning of the lockdown, “he added.” We didn’t know when we would be back, what tournaments would be played and when we would be ready. It’s a killer for a top athlete, “said the Spaniard.
