Да, про физподготовку - сильная вещь! Наконец-то увидела тренера по физподготовке Рафы Joan Forcades, который занимается с ним уже лет 8 (чел в красной майке). Это он придумал для Рафы разные диковинные тренажеры для развития координации движений. И вообще, неплохо так подготовил
"During the first rain delay Toni remembers that the physiotherapist told him it wasn't time to make it rain. (Related to story of little Rafa believing his uncle was a magician and could make it rain if the match did not go Rafas way. Toni explains the anecdote of their first tournament when Rafa was 7) Later, Toni fell sleep in the locker room. The first thing Rafa told him in the beginning of second delay, "Youre not going to fall sleep this time too, are you?"
In the locker room Toni told him that it was a difficult time for Federer, because he had a lot of pressure too, but Toni really didn't believe it, because he thought they've nearly lost the match.
The only thing he told Rafa was that he was very close to win, and that he had to make an effort to not repeat mistakes from previous year, when Rafa wasted many break points by not converting them. Also, Toni told him that at that point it wasn't about tennis, because he thought the more mentally stronger players was going to win.
Rafa told him, "I'm very calm; I know Im not going to fail". Toni then remembers when the year before after loosing the match he found Rafa crying in the locker room. He told him not to cry, because he was the world number two and although he had lost, at least he had reached the final. Then Rafa told him that he didn't know if he was going to reach a final there again and Toni answered that if he didn't do it, it was because he wasn't good enough, and it would be ok and it didn't matter.
Rafa then told him that despite what he had said the year before he was there again, so if he lost this time he would have his chance the next year. He repeated two or three times that he wasn't going to fail, that he would do his best and Federer could win if he played better than him, but not because he had failed like in 2007.
Toni believes that was the time he saw Rafa most mentally strong."

Это было видео такого же типа, что и про любимые книги. К сожалению, по ссылке я его найти не могу, надо на ютьюбе поискать. Там всё больше выпендривались, называя Мерседесы да Астон Мартины, а Рафа брякнул: KIA! Believe me it's a very good car! Ну и тут с ним случился приступ хохота
