Nadal ready to defend perfect Paris record
May 19, 2008
The 21-year-old has led criticism of the decision to squeeze a week out of the clay-court season and he has been caught up in a row with Spain's Tennis Federation over the Davis Cup.
Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic is challenging him ever more seriously for the number two spot but Nadal rejects any suggestion that he won't have the same focus as usual on Paris.

"How am I not going to have strength and desire to play Roland Garros?" he said between mouthfuls of French bread and chocolate spread. "It's the climax of the season on clay.
"Yes, it's been made more difficult by those who make the calendar, but fine, even though I couldn't be at a hundred percent in Rome I'm here and I'm playing well and I aim to get to Roland Garros in as good shape as possible."
