Rafael Nadal appeared before the media after completing his second victory of the season against Daniil Medvedev , who will be number one in the world next Monday. The man from Manacor, qualified for the final of the Acapulco tournament and who remains undefeated in 2022, celebrated being in good health and put it as the key to achieving "level" victories such as the one achieved in a fantastic match with Medvedev.
«I have played against an opponent who is number one and on the surface that he likes the most. It is true that here in Acapulco the boat is happier. It is a level victory, ”said Nadal, more than satisfied with the victory.
«After Australia being in the final, in different conditions, and maintaining the illusion, it means that mentally I am fine. It is a quarter to one in the morning and it is time to rest because Norrie is coming to me who won a tournament last week, ”he adds, without confidence in the face of his rival in the Acapulco final, the British Cameron Norrie.
Staying healthy with respect to his injured foot is what Rafa highlights most about his preparation. “As you know, I have better days and worse days. For me the most important thing, whether it hurts or not, is that I can play without limitations and that's what I couldn't do for the last year and a half . I feel liberated and in the games I've played my foot hasn't been a problem. I enjoy every day that the foot allows me to play freely."
