Nadal: "No one can take away my enthusiasm".
Rafael Nadal isn't quite finished with tennis yet.
Although he is clearly losing momentum, the Majorcan is not giving up and made a satisfactory return to competition in Bastad (finalist).
As he prepares to represent Spain at the Olympic Games, in both singles and doubles, 'Rafa' was kind enough to share his impressions.
Ready for battle, he declared: "Beijing 2008 is one of the best memories of my career. I'm still representing Spain, but at the Games, you get the feeling of being part of a great team.
You notice the support and you feel very loved.
Coming home with a medal is an incredible feeling.
And yes, these will be my last Games. That's why I'm really enjoying being in Paris. I'm happy to be here, and I've had to go through a lot of difficult times to get here.
I see it as a reward and it rejuvenates you. It may or may not go well, but nobody can take away my enthusiasm. I've got the attitude and I'll work every day."
