"I like the way he built his mentality": Rafael Nadal has best attitude on tour says Beatriz Haddad Maia

The world number 13 Beatriz Haddad Maia has stated that she and her coach often look at how Rafael Nadal operates on the court.
The 37-year-old is often regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of men’s tennis in the singles category in the Open era, having won as many as 22 Grand Slam titles.
Haddad Maia was recently quoted in a report where she stated that she is a big admirer of how Nadal operates on the court.
"Sometimes my coach and I watch Rafa.. moments he had in his career. I think especially his attitude, for me, it’s the best one on tour. I like the way he built his mentality,” she said.
"He’s very much a work harder type of person. I think his character & his values are very similar to mine. I try to learn from him every day."
Nadal, who is also known as the King of Clay after winning 14 French Open titles in his illustrious career, has recently returned to the court after struggling with a knee injury which kept him out of action for nearly 12 months. His return did not go as per plan as he was ruled out of the Australian Open after suffering a niggle in the Brisbane International.
The former world number one will now take part in the ATP 1000 event in Indiana Wells where he will play his first round encounter on Thursday, March 07.
