Rafael Nadal: I Would Love To Have One More Grand Slam Title Than Pete Sampras [Video]

And you will my Champ you will.
Vamos Rafa!

March 6th, 2015 at 12:05 pm

I also want to have more slams than Sampras.

March 6th, 2015 at 12:11 pm

How dare he say he wants 1 more than Pete!

What a deceitful, self serving individual this Nadal is saying such a thing!

What a horror of Sportsman to do such a thing!

Yeah I think that’s about everything:

Have I missed anything out Sienna in talking the BS haters want to yap about Rafa there?

All bases covered Old Sport?

I would love him to do so,and it sounds like hes very motivated,as he knows its quite possible,he says he doesnt want to talk about Rogers 17,but i bet hes thinking about it lol?oh the mind games,but i dont think Roger can rest on his laurels either,i think most of Rogers records are safe,but perhaps not the GS?TO BE CONTINUED….

Rafa’s the ultimate competitor. Definitely nothing wrong with him saying he wants more slams than Pete.

But, Brando…you have to admit it means a little more when you this and you have only a slam or two in your bag. I mean, Tiger made no bones about it from the get go. He said he wanted to break Jack’s record. Takes a lot of guts to put that kind of pressure on yourself and you haven’t won anything yet. When you say it aloud, you invite the media to apply the pressure too.

SG1 He will be accused of been arrogant now of talking himself up,just as hes also accused of playing down his chances,he wont win either way,damned if you dont and damned if you do?….

@SG1:

I agree with your post.

March 6th, 2015 at 12:45 pm

HC,

These are athletes, not MENSA members (Bartoli excluded of course). I wouldn’t expect a consistent from response from any of them, one day to the next.

March 6th, 2015 at 12:47 pm

No chance of me getting into MENSA with the grammar in my last post…:)

March 6th, 2015 at 12:49 pm

SG1 LOL i think id be DENSA rather than MENSA myself….

March 6th, 2015 at 12:51 pm

DENSA….Hah! :)

March 6th, 2015 at 1:04 pm

Kind of a Boston accent thing. Wataa’ is DENSA than Oil.

March 6th, 2015 at 1:04 pm

I think it would b ridiculous to say he doesn’t want to win more grand slams, and it would be more ridiculous to say he is interested in getting one more slam but not breaking Pete’s record. I mean if you want one more slam, you’ll end up breaking Pete’s record. At this point, the two are commutative desires haha.

He probably just said, “screw it, yea I want to break Pete’s 14! Happy?”

March 6th, 2015 at 1:13 pm

SG1 nah moi from Bighty,as we say here when your dence your thick like oil….

“Nadal’s Buenos Aires title was his 46, and after a recalculation in ATP record books, he’s now three behind Guillermo Vilas’s revised record of 49.”

NO! Nadal’s title in Buenos Aires was NOT his 46th overall. It was his 46th on CLAY only. Overall, he now has 65 titles.

March 6th, 2015 at 1:27 pm

So Rafa has won 46 titles on clay,and 19 on HCs,my goodness what an out and out failure he is….

March 6th, 2015 at 3:41 pm

His wish may well come true in early June.

March 6th, 2015 at 8:01 pm

Wow what a bold statement from this leading all time great.
Getting sick and tired off this wanna be goat.
Already on level terms he is willing to speak out what he would like.

Nonsens he wants 18 and needs fed to stick on 17.
That is what he really wants.

Sampras took the bull by the horns. he made sure everyone new he wanted the record. and he got it.

nadal tries to tippel toe his way to slamleader.

No way José or Raphael …

@Hippy Chick
Rafa has 16 titles on hardcourt and 3 on grass!!
Did you forget Wimbledon 2008 and 2010 and the tournament of Queens????

March 7th, 2015 at 11:55 am

The Swaggie yeah i did actually,but thats even better as it makes his resume even more balanced,multiple titles on all surfaces,especially the GS THANKS….

March 7th, 2015 at 1:34 pm

Aww isn’t that cute? The butt hurt on display @ 11.20. Love it when rafa makes the hater rile with pettiness as that’s all they got to offer! Keep doing what you’re doing rafa and we’ll keep enjoying the haters whinge like the sorry fools they are!

March 7th, 2015 at 2:51 pm

Funny how a poster seems to spend that much time and nervous energy pontificating about a player that they dont even like,i cant see the point,but whatever floats your boat i guess?….

March 7th, 2015 at 2:55 pm

Federer fans should keep quiet about Nadal and be nice to him and his fans because if they retort by asking why Roger has an abominable record against Rafa, they would be grasping at straws for a reasonable explanation.

March 7th, 2015 at 2:58 pm

Why would the guy even give interviews?
He is not speaking his mind. Lying and trying to deceive people.just put out press release message.

March 8th, 2015 at 1:52 am

Hippy, you miss the point, you know it too.

March 8th, 2015 at 6:11 am

Rafa, you are a total sportsman, gentleman and a sheer delight. Your modesty and sense of fair play over the years has been a complete lesson in how to conduct yourself.

March 8th, 2015 at 8:16 am

Madmax err no….

March 8th, 2015 at 10:25 am

Only one Rafa ??? 😓
