El Mundo Q&A – day 5

Day 5 of Rafa’s Q&A for El Mundo is up. From the mangle, it appears* that:

He’s not sure where the turning point will come in his mental battle against Djokovic (who is playing well).
He doesn’t feel he’s at the end of his career, but has been on the tour for quite awhile so is closer to the end than the beginning.
He’s not sure if a one-handed top-spin backhand would add

El Mundo Q&A – day 4

Rafa’s next Q&A for El Mundo is up. From the mangle, it appears* that:

Rafa likes hot weather, and the change to his racket weight is almost imperceptible but has mounted something…(um, help on that one, please?)

El Mundo Q&A – day 3

There’s a new Q&A up on the El Mundo site. From the mangle, it appears* that:

There’s no time table on change in the tennis world. He’ll just keep on working on his game.
Tomic could be this year’s surprise high finisher.
Something about forcing food (and the US being very different) that I think means he eats local food when he travels on the tour.
It should be very difficult for someone to win a Grand Slam.
When a bug gets on your

AO: El Mundo Q&A – day 2

Day two of Rafa’s Q&A with El Mundo is up. Per the mangle it appears* that:

It hasn’t been that hot in Melbourne this year (the opposite, in fact), until the day of his first match. But that didn’t feel so bad because of the windy. He has occasionally played while wearing long sleeves.
He does look at the overall draw, but concentrates on the next match (I think). Then there’s something about math. (Is that related to a super-majority?)
It’s not
