This translation is fantastic - I'm so jealous of everyone who can speak multiple languages. Manolo's comment cracked me up! It's true, though, I was wondering the same thing when I saw that tiny wooden racquet. And I love that comment from Nadal: "The day I lose my desire to improve, I'll move on." That's something we should all think about in our daily lives. Thanks, again, Henry, for improving my blog! :) GRACIAS, Henry!

The introduction of the note its in catalan, and the anchorwoman says that rafa is in barcelona for the tournament and he met manolo santana who donate one of his racquets for rafa´s foundation; in the interview rafa says more or less this: "its a very important tournament,the last four years everything have been great for me here, things turn out just perfect here in my club in barcelona and i wiil try give my best to have a very good result" Then Manolo says: "The thing that i liked the most is that rafa's been watching the racquet all the time and wondering "how the fuck this dude could played with this thing" Albert Costa says something in catalan that i dont understand... i dont speak catalá very well. Then Rafa says: "There´s always talk about how i am physically, but in the end its more important to see how is my tennis, because its been showed that physically i dont have any problems, and my body always responds great in the last couple of years" Then they showed the presentation of the book sponsored by rafa's foundation called "Game Set Match", and rafa says "im conscious that im 22 years old and the day that i lost the desire to improve i will go to my home to do other things" He starts to talk about soccer and says "im a fan of (real) madrid and mallorca, but its clear that my uncle (miguel angel nadal) played here (barcelona fc) for nine years, and the madridism its always exagerate (barcelona and madrid are death rivals, some people in barcelona dont like rafa because his fanatism for real madrid). I love this city and of course i wiil love that barcelona win the champions league (most important esuropean club soccer tournament). The journalist talks about rafa´s debut against federico gil and the path to win his fith consecutive Conde de Godó. Finally they showed images of rafa training in the Real Club de Tenis de Barcelona and make some promotion to see his matches on that network (IB3). greetings from bogotá, colombia. hi im a very loyal colombian fan of your blog, and i would love to help with the translation.
