After Monte-Carlo, Barcelona and Madrid, now Rome… The clay court season continues without Rafael Nadal. In recent days, those around him wanted to be optimistic. But after having passed a medical examination this Friday morning, Nadal announced a new package for the Italian tournament which begins on May 10. A Master 1000 which he has won 10 times.
” Hello everyone ! I’m really sorry to tell you that I won’t be able to be in Rome. You all know how much it hurts me to miss another tournament that marked my professional and personal career for all the love and support of the Italian tifosi. Although I have noticed an improvement in recent days, it has been many months since I was able to train at a high level and the rehabilitation process has its time and I have no choice but to accept them and continue working. Hugs to you all,” he wrote on twitter.
Due to a psoas injury, Nadal has not played in competition since January 18 and his elimination in the second round in Melbourne against the American Mackenzie McDonald. Less than a month before the start of Roland-Garros (May 28-June 11), where he will be in the running for a potential 15th coronation, one wonders in what state of form Rafael Nadal, soon to be 37, today 14th in the world, will land in Paris. Its preparation is already necessarily truncated.
