“Mental Beast”: Next Gen Star Takes Inspiration from Rafael Nadal
Follow Us
In a tennis match, there are many problems that tennis players face. Some of those problems might be physical like fatigue, but the more important ones are mental. Players have to undergo a lot of pressure, and it takes a tremendous amount of mental strength to handle this. In this regard, Spanish tennis player Alejandro Davidovich Fokina feels that Rafael Nadal is the example to follow.
“In Spain we have a player, Rafa Nadal, who is a mental beast. You can learn a lot from him by watching how he manages the matches,” Fokina said.

Rafael Nadal doesn’t have a psychologist
To deal with high-pressure situations, players often seek the help of a psychologist and many believed that Rafa does the same. However, recently, his coach Carlos Moya dismissed such rumors. He said, “What I do have to say is that since I’ve been with Rafa and without knowing if he has resorted to them before, I have never seen him need this kind of help… I can assure you that what he does in times of stress he has not learned anywhere. Nor has he read it or been taught by a psychologist.”
Every Rafa fan would agree with what Carlos Moya has said here. Nadal’s mental strength is not something that has been seen in any other player, and it can never be taught. In matches, when he has a huge amount of pressure on him, he has always managed to play his best tennis to win. When he has been injured, he has always pulled off a successful comeback. Rafa is the greatest fighter in the sport, and everyone can expect him to keep fighting in the future.
