The Spanish Rafael Nadal, who recently announced his absence from the Monte Carlo Masters 1,000, declared that “at the moment” he is not managing to get “in a position to compete”, despite all the effort he has been making.
“I have had a difficult year and a half in which everything is becoming difficult. I am trying every day. I have things to solve and the reality is that at the moment I am not able to put myself in a position to compete. It is hard,” Nadal said in statements to Movistar+ at half-time of the Copa del Rey final between Athletic Bilbao and Mallorca.
Nadal pointed out that “on a personal level, everything is fine”, but that “on a professional level”, his situation is “difficult”. “But you also have to put everything that my career has been on a balance. In bad times you remember the moments that I would never have dreamed of living,” he said.
“I keep trying, but the situation is complicated. I go day by day. I don’t rule out anything, neither being in Barcelona nor being in Madrid, although I haven’t been able to be in Monte Carlo. At the moment I am not being able to get there due to some physical problems that I have to “They prevent me from even being able to fight for my goals. We are trying things, very cautiously,” commented the winner of 22 Grand Slam titles.
