EThe Balearic tennis player, who won his match in Indian Wells against Korda signing a historic comebackstated at a press conference what goes through his head when he is in adverse situations.
When asked about his great confidence when turning games around, Rafael Nadal was clear: “The only thing I can tell you is that if people think I’m a believer all the time that I’m going to come back… It’s true. I don’t have that incredible self-confidence that when I’m at 5-2 I say Ok I’m going to turn it around. No. But, in my mind I think it’s very difficult and I don’t want to stop trying, “he says.
I try to make things difficult for the rival and the normal thing in this game is that out of 100, you lose 90. But if you don’t try, you’re going to lose 100

I want to try, but I know that sometimes it is impossible. We are going to try that the rival does not win. Don’t help him win. I’m just trying to continue and make things a little more difficult for the rival and the normal thing in this type of match is that out of 100 you lose 90, but if you don’t try, you’re going to lose all 100. If you’re there… you can win the game. 10 percent,” he says.
After the difficulties, Rafa won 6-2, 1-6 and 7-6(3) in two and a half hours of a wonderful show full of plot twists.
