Sometimes you don't see the light during injury breaks, says Rafael Nadal
dealt with a lot of injuries in his career, but he always tried to go forward. The Spaniard thought that he could finish his career in 2005, when he dealt with a foot issue, and in 2012, when he stopped competing for seven months. I am a positive guy, said Nadal. I always had the feeling that we would fix it.
But, of course, there is periods of time that you dont see the light. Is tough. My only goal is always to have been keep going. Even if lot of days you go on court when you have troubles or you go to the gym without having a real goal or without knowing why I am going there, because I dont see a benefit on this today; you keep going.
Thats the only way that you can keep having confidence and hope for a good comeback in terms of health. Thats it. I have my experience. I know sometimes is hard mentally. Is tough when you have one thing, then another thing.
But I know that tennis is not forever. I want to do it as long as I can and give myself the best possibilities to fight for the things really I am passionate about, and to keep doing the things that I really enjoy doing.
Playing tennis is one of the things, compete in this sport is one of the things that I enjoy more doing. When the day that I cannot hold it again comes, it will be the day to go and do what you told me or another things.
