Nadal: 'I did not expect the rain to help me!'

Rafael Nadal did not take much time to get his leadership back to the world rankings. Matador defeated Alexander Zverev in the final of Internazionali BNL d `Italia and won a third title in less than a month.
The week was unbelievable for me. It is important to hold this trophy after dropping out of the 1/4-finals in Madrid. It was unforgettable and emotional. It`s great to win eight times in Rome. The tournament is tough and I have the chance to win it again again, `said the Spaniard.
Raphael`s Eternal City title means he already has 78 trophies on his account, ahead of John McEnroe, with whom he has ranked fourth in the rankings of the top titles. In front of Matador are only Jimmy Connors (109), Roger Federer (97) and Ivan Lendle (94).
I did not think the break because of the rain would help me -Nadal returned to the final with Zverev. -;That`s how I felt it. Of course, if we analyze now, it could be said that the rain has helped me. What hel ped me, however, was that I had a clear idea of how to deal with the tactical problems dictated by the decisions I made before the interruption.

Of course, I also had some luck. I returned the breakthrough instantly. Then I played correctly.
Despite the loss Zvev headed the annual ranking:
'There is nothing to say!', said the German. 'The next time I find a way to do better after a break due to rain. I lost my momentum and Rafa is a man against whom if you are not in the match analyzed by links for sport tips and you do not feel the ball well, you have no chance. This week is the most satisfying, because even when I was tired I found a way against amazing players. And that`s not easy. It`s amazing that I played the final after two winning tournaments. I was not far from defeating the Rafa at the Masters Final at clay.'
