納達爾：德約科維奇「更痴迷於」大滿貫數量 我和他的野心不一樣

樂網網球 昨天

當地時間週一，納達爾在接受《地鐵報》的一段採訪中引起軒然大波，在2021法網開賽之
前，西班牙球王重申自己徵戰職業網壇的動機，並將自己與老對手德約科維奇爭奪冠軍的
方式進行了比較。納達爾在採訪中透露：德約科維奇「更痴迷於」自己名下擁有多少座大
滿貫頭銜。

紅土之王納達爾在上周的蒙特卡洛大師賽止步於八強，1/4決賽他負於盧布列夫，新賽季
首站紅土賽事無緣問鼎。距2021法網開賽還有40天的時間里，納達爾還將參加巴塞羅那、
馬德里與羅馬站的爭奪。

在接受《地鐵報》的專訪時，納達爾談到了與費德勒、德約科維奇三巨頭之間的競爭。根
據西班牙人的說法，德約科維奇是最「沈迷」於大滿貫數量競爭的一人。

「我喜歡我所做的，我喜歡打球，很高興來到蒙特卡洛再次參加重大賽事，當然，我也想
贏得更多的大滿貫，這毫無疑問。但我從來沒有…我的意思是諾瓦克對這個(大滿貫數量)
更著迷、更專注，對他來說這些事情意義重大。」

「就像他經常說的，談到這些紀錄，他做得很出色…但這不是我徵戰網球生涯的方式。我
有一個’正面’的抱負，當然我也野心勃勃，如果不是的話，我也不會有今天的成就，但
我的野心可能和他不一樣。」

「我只是繼續前進，繼續做我正在做的事情，試著讓自己出一個位置，繼續享受巡回賽，
當然還要試圖獲得盡可能多的東西。」

「我對我現在的職業生涯很滿意，不是今天，而是幾年前我就很滿意了，但我不會因此後
退一步。如果我輸掉一場比賽，我不會感到沮喪，我會試著用一種不同的方式來處理這件
事。」

今年法網，納達爾將向賽會第14冠發起衝擊，但西班牙人堅持說，並不是這些「數字」驅
使自己不斷前進。

「我知道有些數字是完全瘋狂的，但我從來沒有想過這些數字，與此同時，我也沒有太多
時間去思考這些數字。希望在我職業生涯的最後，停止做現在做的事情時，我將有時間來
分析更多的數據。目前，我只專注於努力並繼續前進。」

FRENCH OPEN - NOVAK DJOKOVIC IS 'MORE OBSESSED' WITH SLAMS TALLY, 'WELL DONE F
OR HIM' - RAFAEL NADAL

Rafael Nadal has opened up about his career motivation ahead of the 2021 Frenc
h Open and compared his approach to his great rival Novak Djokovic's in chasin
g titles. According to the Spaniard, the Serb is much more 'obsessed' with ens
uring that he finishes his career with more Grand Slam crowns than both him an
d Roger Federer.

Novak Djokovic is "more obsessed" about how many Grand Slam titles he has to h
is name, according to his rival Rafael Nadal.
The Spaniard may have 86 ATP titles, 20 Grand Slams, 209 weeks at number one i
n the world rankings and Olympic gold medals in both singles and doubles, but
he believes Djokovic is more desperate to ensure that he ends up with the best
numbers to his name.

Djokovic, the youngest of the ‘Big Three’, trails both Nadal and Roger Feder
er in Grand Slam titles, with 18 compared to their hauls of 20. But according
to Nadal, the world number one is the most "obsessed" with that stat.

"I enjoy what I am doing, I am happy playing tennis," Nadal told the Metro. "I
am happy about being here in Monte Carlo [where he was beaten in the quarter-
finals by Andrey Rublev] to play a great event again and, of course, I want to
win more Slams, yes. No doubt about that.

BUT I NEVER GET – I MEAN, NOVAK IS MORE OBSESSED ABOUT THIS, MORE FOCUSED… N
OT IN A NEGATIVE WAY. NO, HE’S MORE FOCUSED ON JUST THESE THINGS AND IT MEANS
A LOT TO HIM ALL OF THIS STUFF.

"Like he’s always saying and talking about these records and well done for hi
m… but it’s not my approach to my tennis career.

"I have a healthy ambition. Of course, I am ambitious, if not I would never be
in the position I am today but I have probably a different kind of ambition t
han him, for example.

"I just keep going, keep doing what I’m doing and just try to put myself in a
position to keep enjoying the tour and, of course, try to achieve as much as
possible.

"I am super satisfied about the career I’m having. Not today, I was super sat
isfied years ago already but I am not making a step back in motivation because
of that. I don’t get frustrated if I am losing one tournament, I am trying t
o approach the thing in a different way."

Nadal will be eyeing his 14th title at Roland Garros - a tally which is alread
y unprecedented - but he has insisted that it is not the numbers that drive hi
m.

"I know some of the numbers are completely crazy and I could never dream at al
l about these numbers," he continued. "At the same time, I never had a lot of
time to think about numbers.

"Hopefully at the end of my career, when I stop doing what I am doing, I’m go
ing to have the time to analyse more these things. Today, I’m just focused to
try and keep going.

"Tennis, it goes quick. We have a lot of tournaments throughout the year and,
for example, during this clay-court season I’m playing in Monte Carlo, Barcel
ona and then probably Madrid and Rome and then Roland Garros so it’s not plen
ty of time to enjoy success or to think about, 'I have this. I have won this'.

"Okay, I know I had a lot of success in this part of the season but in the pas
t. This year is another year. The only thing that I’m doing is try to play an
d practise every day with the right attitude and try to put myself in a positi
on again to be very competitive in the beginning."
