The reason Rafa is rolling. 

Q.  You came on court with a suitcase on wheels.  Was it for protecting the shoulder?  What was it?  Is it new?

RAFAEL NADAL:  You want the true? 

Q.  Yeah, please. 
RAFAEL NADAL:  (Smiling.)  Seriously, I forgot my bag at home.
Q.  At the hotel?
RAFAEL NADAL:  At the hotel, no.  I went on court yesterday ‑‑Majorca, the Hotel of Majorca, at home (smiling.)
So that's the bag that I bring all the, you know, computer, Play Station, everything there, all the cables, and I pulled out everything and I put the clothes there.
Another thing that's true, my pain in the shoulder is really on the top, so when I put something here is bothering me a lot.  But that's not the reason, but that's the true.  I cannot, for example, when I am having the bag on the shoulder, I cannot put one and one and put the racquet back like this, because that's bothering me a lot.
So anyway, even if I want to have the normal bag like I used today, I will do it.  Just to go on court for 50 meters, that not gonna happen, nothing, but, no, that's the new style.
Do you like, by the way (smiling)?
