Same motivation for Rafael Nadal every year

According to Tennis.com, Rafael Nadal said that he's going into the French Open just like every other years.

"I am coming here with motivation of every year with the illusion to play well. But I don't going to be more motivated because I have six and I can win seven. And I was not more motivated when I arrived here in 2005 than today. I was not more motivated in 2010 when I lose in 2009. The motivation always is the same. Sometimes you lose; sometimes you win. That's the sport and that's the game."

In the latest photo update on his Facebook page, Nadal posted a picture of him relaxing at the hotel's terrace with friends.
