曾考慮明年此時退役 納達爾料再推遲
2020年10月23日
（西班牙-馬德里23日綜合電）納達爾承認自己可能準備在明年的這個時候退役，但考慮
他目前的發揮，他覺得「不可能」。

年齡增長和傷病困擾一直都是體壇球星退役的主要原因。西班牙網球好手納達爾（34歲）
在接受西班牙媒體El Periodico訪問時承認，自己已經在考慮退役的可能性。

「對於現在的我來說，我覺得明年退役的可能性是不大的，你不能預測未來，我不知道生
活會帶來什麼，也許有些時間會發生讓我不知道自己在做什麼，希望事情不會是這樣，但
我必須做好準備。」

「我不會擔心那一天（退役）的帶來，因此我現在還不想去考慮它，當時候到了就會感覺
到它，我會意識到這點，可能不會每個早晨都去訓練、不斷改進、想著目標衝擊，或保持
競爭力的激情等，這些情況發生的時候就是我需要退出的時刻，需要做一些比網球更重要
的事了。」

「紅土之王」納達爾早前在法國網球公開賽摘獲個人第20個大滿貫賽男單桂冠，追平了瑞
士天王費特勒的男子網壇歷史紀錄。

Rafael Nadal admits he could be ready to retire this time next year, but he do
es not believe it to be likely at this stage.

Nadal achieved history at Roland Garros earlier this month where he won his 20
th major title to draw level with Roger Federer as the most successful male te
nnis player in history.


However, at the age of 34, he is aware that there are more days behind than th
ere are those ahead, and he sees no point in hiding from it.

“I can’t guess when I’ll retire,” Nadal told El Periodico. “Who knows if
that will be the same in a year’s time.

“You cannot predict the future. I don’t know what life will bring, maybe thi
ngs will happen that will make me disillusioned about what I’m doing.

“Hopefully that is not the case! Of course, to this day, I see it unlikely, b
ut one must always be prepared because things change very quickly.


“Of course, I am not afraid of that day and, therefore, I do not consider it.

“It is clear to me that when I arrived, I will feel it, I will know it, I wil
l realize, probably that I will no longer feel that passion that moves me to g
o to training every morning, those continuous improvement objectives that one
needs to remain competitive.

“When that happens, it will be time to say I quit and start doing things that
are as or more important than tennis, of course.”
