Nadal: Motivation for French same as ever

Six-time Roland Garros champion Rafael Nadal says that his approach to this year's tournament won't differ from the others, but admitted that last year he looked at the event differently.

"Last year probably answer is different, because if I won I will equal [Bjorn] Borg," Nadal told reporters. "Any year we can find a different excuse to be different. But at the end, what is different is another year, another Roland Garros. This tournament is enough important for himself, not because now I have six. I have much more than I ever dreamed. I am coming here with motivation of every year with the illusion to play well. But I don't going to be more motivated because I have six and I can win seven. And I was not more motivated when I arrived here in 2005 than today. I was not more motivated in 2010 when I lose in 2009. The motivation always is the same. Sometimes you lose; sometimes you win. That's the sport and that's the game."
