Nadal almost back in training

  • Intro:

    14-time Grand Slam winner Rafa Nadal buries a time capsule at the Sports Centre which bears his name in his home town of Manacor in Mallorca on Monday (24th November) - and says he's close to completing his recovery from the appendix operation which kept him out of the recent World Tour Finals in London.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English)

    Rafa Nadal: For me, it's a very special moment. Sport... Tennis and sport and life in general has been my passion, all my life since I was a kid and sport, in this case tennis, has given me a lot, so that's my way of giving something back to the kids and the new generations and I hope to make this centre a worldwide reference for the kids... help a lot of new kids to being their tennis to the top level."

    SOUNDBITE (English)

    Rafa Nadal: "Well (I look ahead), with the same motivation as always, no? Preparing for the new season, I am almost 100 per cent recovered from my appendicitis operation, so in one week I'm going to start my practices and I'm very excited for that and I'm going to try to work as much as I can to be ready for the start of 2015, that's a very important goal for me."

    SOUNDBITE (English)

    Rafa Nadal: "The injury is OK, in a few days I'll start to train again. I'm looking forward to start training and to competing again. I'm especially looking forward to the beginning of a new year, probably even more than usual because the second half of this year has been so complicated for me."
