Tennis – Russian Dmitry Tursunov is known for his wit and humor as well as his frank discussions on topics. And in his latest interview with TennisNow, the Russian, who reached the third round of the ongoing US Open, jokes that he is world number one.
2 Rafael Nadal’s butt implants are the talk of the locker room. Asked about Nadal’s return after seven months out due to injury, Tursunov comments: “It’s a difficult subject because a lot of people insinuate that he doesn’t take the Flintstones just to play so well.
We all need to do something a little bit more because we need to maintain the level we need to be competitive. I’m not talking about anything illegal or hardcore. I don’t know, maybe he has butt implants. That seems to be the locker room topic (laughs).
I think he is truly exceptional in many ways. Mentally, he is able to focus in a way that few people are able to do. I think he loves the work. He loves the challenge. I’m not the type who likes to go out and compete for fun.
I’d rather go lie down on a couch somewhere. Rafa is able to concentrate, not win the tournament and say: “Holy shit, I did such a good job!” Let’s party somewhere in Mallorca and Ibiza! He won the French Open and the next day he practiced for two hours in Queens.
I’m sure he takes certain steps to give himself the best chance of getting there, whether it’s taking Flintstones or eating properly. It’s a little unfair of us to say, “Sure, this guy is juicing,” because in our minds we’d rather believe he’s making a quick fix than believe that he works seven hours like a horse to get there. “.
