Rafael Nadal was pleased to be in the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the eighth time. The Balearic has made a qualitative leap in the last two games.
Sensations. “The improvements during the tournament are there and I’m happy to return to the quarterfinals three years later. If I can’t raise the level, it’s normal for me to go home.”
Match with Fritz at Indian Wells. “I didn’t learn anything because I had a crack in my rib and the pain was very bad. It’s obvious that he is playing at a high level because he has won tournaments everywhere.”

Bandage on the abdomen. “I’m a bit tired of talking about my body and I’d rather not talk about it right now in the middle of the tournament. I’m good enough.”
