Knowing that Rafael Nadal's year has been filled with anguish and frustrations, such simple pleasures can do a lot for the tennis player.

Recently, he opened up about his recovery. According to NDTV Sports, he said, "Sometimes I recover from injuries. This time what I had, with my not having the control of my nerves or my emotion, is like coming back from an injury, too. It's not a physical injury, but it's a mental injury. And this for me is another challenge. I am working hard. I've never had such a long period of time without playing at the level that I wanted."

Rafael Nadal will probably never catch up with Roger Federer's world records or his historical prominence in the world of tennis, but he has relinquished his dreams long ago. But with his girlfriend Maria Francisca Perello keeping his confidence high, Rafael Nadal is ready to climb back to the top.

According to NDTV, "A defiant Rafael Nadal warned Sunday his career was not over yet as he pledged that "sooner or later" he will be back at the very top of men's tennis."

While it's very possible that the Spaniard will never rise to the level of Roger Federer, he still remained hopeful for his future in tennis.

Some have been saying that Rafael Nadal is letting "defeatism" rule this career, something that his long-time girlfriend Maria Francisca Perello cannot help him with. But the Spaniard is ready to take on the new season with some new energy and inspiration.

Seeing how his girlfriend Maria Francisca Perello has been by his side for decades now, she was a big person to lean on through this family tragedy.
