Nadal rested and confident before the Roland Garros campaign | ATP Tour

With the Parisian sun on his back, Rafael Nadal has trained a lot at the newly renovated Roland Garros Stadium, with the aim of winning an incredible 12th trophy.

And the Spanish superstar, who has compiled most of his record of 86 wins and 2 losses in front of the clay major, said the new court stage Philippe Chatrier, shaved shortly after his triumph in 2018, is not different from the old version.

"I do not see any difference in terms of gaming experience," Nadal said Friday. "I think the wind is going in the same direction and the feeling on the ground is exactly the same. It's a little different, behind the royal box. For me, that's the main difference. "

Nadal has completed two practice sessions at Roland Garros since arriving in Mallorca, where he took some rest after his victory at the BNL Internazionali of Italy – for his ninth trophy in Rome and his record 34th ATP Masters 1000 title. Read the report and watch the highlights of the Rome final

"I'm at home, a golf day, a family day and I came back here," said Nadal. "I've already had two good practices here. [I’m] I'm just trying to continue the preparation and maintain the level. "

Nadal scored 14-3 on the European spring stroll. He clinched his first title at the 2019 ATP Tour in Rome with a victory over world No.1 Novak Djokovic on May 19th.

When asked how he was preparing for a Grand Slam championship, Nadal admitted, "It depends on the timing. It depends if you play well, if you play normally, or if you play badly.

"I feel good playing, honest, and my goal is just to keep playing at this level, because there are always things I can improve, little things. But in general terms, it's all about being healthy, being competitive, and being mentally and physically refreshed. "

The world No. 2, who will turn 33 on June 3, begins his campaign against a qualifier at Roland Garros, where he tries to win his 18th Grand Slam title.
