Yeah, that's also in the radio interview, I'm still working on. Meaning the part about Galasso.
The Clarin article basically just says that David is now using the swimming pool of the "Centre for High Performance" at the "Cordoba Sports Agency" and quotes David as saying that the pool they have is big enough to train comfortably and that he can exercise together with other athletes. It also says that the first stage of training is over now and that he's getting ready to train harder.

Hello, see Clarin of today, there is a short article about Nalby, they say that Claudio Galasso has begun to work with David

Thanks Tamar that's so nice of you *hug*
I'm gonna visit the sections you suggested and give you my pressions for sure :)

It seems I'm going blind, I didn't see this post yesterday lol

Thanks tamar, I love good news...and this inteview made me feel happy!!!! I can't wait to see our Nalby back on court. I hope the first time he'll try to run will not be too painful. But Nalby is brave and will ignore his pain as he did the last 2 years (I did not realize how he suffered...he never let it show). Of course, Agentinian team needs him to win Davis cup (what a strange poll!!)

You are right Julia I can always look at the photo...

2009-08-10T20:52:17.420-03:00

You are right Julia I can always look at the photos. ;) You just reminded me when I was a little girl and couldn't read and I'd just look at the pics in my brothers' books lol

Something a forgot to mention: I heard lot of time...

2009-08-10T20:30:31.881-03:00

Something a forgot to mention: I heard lot of times saying David that he is not a "fanatic" of seeing the ranking, compared to other players. That's to say, he is not all the time calculating if the tennis player who is before him needs to arrive to the final of a tournament to have David's position, for example...

2009-08-10T20:24:58.757-03:00

About what David said, I think David meant what Krystle Lee said. David meant others player think the ranking is too important, they think about it day and night, and David doesn't care a lot about it.
Istabraq and Camilia: it's a pleasure to help english-speakers notice what David said and is doing :)
i'm sure all of you will like the second part of the interview ;)

Camilia: as you can't understand spanish but you would like to visit my web about David (thanks to say that!:) ), I'll recommend you some sections that, although you don't know spanish, i'm sure you are going to enjoy them ;)

-As Julia said, you can see photos I took the times a saw David: http://davidnalbandianesunidolototal.jimdo.com/exclusivo/fotos-exclusivas/
-Here you can hear the David Nalbandian's song, which name is "King David": http://davidnalbandianesunidolototal.jimdo.com/la-canción-de-david/
-Also, here you can see pictures about David Nalbandian Fundation: http://davidnalbandianesunidolototal.jimdo.com/la-fundación-david-nalbandian/ (i have to add a photo about a t-shirt that the fundation sold for Davis Cup).
-To finish, in this part you can write messagges to David. Every time I see him I gave him the new ones ;) Once he told me he always read them ;) http://davidnalbandianesunidolototal.jimdo.com/escribile-a-david/mensajes-para-david/
(Obviously, you can write in english!)

Well... I think that's it! I think you are not going to have too many problems in this sections ;) whatever you don't understand... please, don't doubt, ask me. I hope you like the web and then, please, tell me your impressions! ;)

Since I raised the subject of David's comment about some guys sleeping with their ranking under the pillow... I just thought it was an amusing way of putting it.

He did say he was unlike most of the others on the tour in that he doesn't attach that much importance to his ranking. But of course it's very important to a player, as it determines whether they get seeded, whether they get into the top tournaments, and for some, whether they can even make tennis their career. So it's likely that some do think about it or worry about it a lot.

I don't think David necessarily meant it as a criticism of his fellow players. He knows he's not typical in that he doesn't let his whole life revolve around his career.

In any case, Julia, Krystle, don't you think David...

2009-08-10T19:43:20.604-03:00

In any case, Julia, Krystle, don't you think David's exposing the arrogance and self-importance people attach to their rankings-whether high or low? I think so.

I'd say it means that it's very precious to them. ...

2009-08-10T18:28:03.657-03:00

I'd say it means that it's very precious to them. And they don't want anybody to take it away from them.

You think so? I interpret it as meaning that they...

2009-08-10T15:34:44.458-03:00

You think so? I interpret it as meaning that they care about it enough to still think about it at night.

Well, you can visit them anyway, right? For exampl...

2009-08-10T11:41:18.210-03:00

Well, you can visit them anyway, right? For example, the photo pages (incuding the ones she took herself) are not that difficult to find. ;)

And yeah, thanks Tamar! Because in the meantime, she has transcribed a big chunk of the radio interview. Translation coming soon...

Krystle, about rankings and pillows, I think he meant those players who're really proud of their rankings, rather than those who have to watch it for financial etc reasons. My impression.

Of course thanks Tamar :) I wish I spoke Spanish ...

2009-08-09T20:36:42.570-03:00

Of course thanks Tamar :)

I wish I spoke Spanish to visit her websites :(

It's good that he will be able to pick up a racque...

2009-08-09T03:43:10.429-03:00

It's good that he will be able to pick up a racquet soon. When he says light training, that reminds me of that Youtube video of him training in Indian Wells where he's practically standing and hitting balls without moving, lol. If it were me, I'd find the limitations very annoying, like if it wasn't important to start the training on a gradual basis, I'd take the attitude of preferring not to play at all.

It makes sense why rankings are a big deal to people, those that have problems maintaining their rankings high enough to play ATP events (instead of challengers) and those that are financially dependent on it.

Thanks, Tamar! :)

No problem. :) Though most of the credit belongs to Tamar.

David does indeed sound very positive and relaxed in that interview. In fact, there's so much laughter and joking going on that there are parts where it gets really difficult to understand anything...

But yeah, it's great news and I agree, it makes the wait seem much more foreseeable.

2009-08-08T16:33:36.949-03:00

thanks, Julia. This is great - David sounds so positive. And it makes it seem as though it's not such a long time to wait now before he's back.

I love the bit about some guys sleeping with their ranking under the pillow! :-)

Thanks Julia. That's good news indeed.

2009-08-08T14:45:06.877-03:00

Thanks Julia. That's good news indeed.
