Rafael Nadal speaks to the media before The Championships 

Q. How was your preparation in Mallorca? How do you feel about having grass courts now?
RAFAEL NADAL: It was great. I would love to be playing in Queen's, obviously. But after the last three months and after what happened in Roland Garros, we decided that for my body is better to have a slower change to the grass, no? We were practicing little bit more every day. I was lucky to have a tournament there in Mallorca. That was a big help.
I practiced since the tournament start, since Monday until Saturday. So was a good help.

Q. You like the courts?
RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, the courts was great. We are lucky to have a great event in Mallorca. I hope the event hold on. We hope to receive the support from the government and from the people. That's the only way to have success in an event like that.

Q. It's been 15 years since somebody other than you, Roger, Novak or Andy won the men's singles at Wimbledon. Why do you think, when the other majors have been won by other players, Wimbledon is still owned by the big four?
RAFAEL NADAL: I don't know. Maybe that change this year. You never know, no?
Is true that in the other events, didn't happen very often, too. We have been winning a lot for the last 10 years. But I don't see a particular reason for that.
