Q. How do you like playing at Wimbledon? How do you like the grass? RAFAEL NADAL-PARERA: Yeah, last year I already played in the Juniors, and I played quite well ... But I think I like to play on grass. Maybe I will not play very well on grass, but I like to play on grass, and it’s going my way.

2003: a 17-year-old Rafael Nadal plays his third ever match at Wimbledon - his first grand slam - against Paradorn Srichaphan, losing 6-4 6-4 6-2. Five years and two second place finishes later, he would win the event in the legendary 2008 final.
