Nadal: The habits and etiquette of the game help me to concentrate

Recently, Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal said that many of the habits and etiquette in the game helped him, but if he had a choice, he would rather not. The 35-year-old Nadal pays attention to some of the habits and etiquette of the game when serving, transposing and crossing the tennis line. One of the most iconic scenes in the game was to see Nadal adjusting the drinking bottle during breaks.

Nadal is one of the most accomplished and successful athletes in the history of tennis. In an interview with Sports Teams, he said: "I believe that the fewer strange things you do to focus, the better. I say this when I have a particularly obvious habit when I play. I'd rather not do it. ”

Paying attention to etiquette and habits helps Nadal concentrate. One of the most challenging things that tennis players face is the lonely part of the sport. Unlike team sports, tennis players have to find ways to get out of the bad phase on their own and solve all the problems on their own on the court. Nadal added: "It doesn't sound like an excuse, but tennis is a mentally offensive sport that is always high on you; the slightest mistake will get you home. ”

"You have to find a way to be 100% focused and not distracted by external things." Nadal said he doesn't know if the habits and rituals are positive or negative, but he admits it obviously works for him. "Generally speaking, I'm a focused person," Nadal claimed, "I don't know if it's positive or negative, but having rituals and habits works well for me." When I trained, I didn't have rituals, but competition gave me that sense of security and isolation. ”

Nadal, who made tennis history at the last Australian Open, recovered from falling behind in two sets to beat world number two Daniel Medvedev in the final to win a record 21st Grand Slam. After winning the Australian Open, Nadal returned to his hometown and spent some time in Mallorca. Espanyol's next match is scheduled for Acapulco, which starts on February 21.
