Rafa Nadal has not competed for four months, without being in the Mutua de Madrid, without stepping Romawhere Alcaraz and Djokovic will be, hardly appearing in public, because he is training and recovering. Roland Garros It is his tournament, the competition in which he is the king and with which he wanted to measure if the Spanish champion is still ready to compete, if he has left behind a start to the year full of doubts and pain.
All his companions are waiting for him.and Rafael Nadal He is going to arrive in Paris and if he is going to arrive, in addition, in a position to compete and be up to the task. Because he is going to be required of him as he is always required and he is not going to go to the Roland Garros arena to hang out. He is super competitive and if he is not prepared to compete in the elite, he is not going to hasten his comeback.
It is unknown: “He is the rival to beat on land, there is no doubt. Of course it depends on whether Nadal plays Roland Garros or not, but Alcaraz is one of the big favourites, without a doubt,” Djokovic said., who was asked if he thinks Nadal will be there and how it affects him that he does not arrive: “In my preparation nothing will change, but the world of tennis and the tournament will be affected, his absence would be very important due to his history in the tournament and, in general, for what he has achieved in his sports career”, acknowledged the Serb before the tournament in Rome. It hurts him to miss any tournament, but especially the Grand Slams, in the tennis world it has a bigger impact. I am sure that everyone wants to see him there, I would also like to see the best in the world in action, I think the best thing for the competition. Obviously, I am not in his shoes, I do not know what he will be feeling, but for sure he will do everything possible to be there ”.
Yes, he’s doing his best, but it’s not clear that it’s going to be enough. An image of Rafa Nadal in training has been leaked and has left everyone very worried. It may be a conjunctural moment, but coming from where Nadal comes from, they are not good symptoms.
In it you see Rafael Nadal with all his equipment, head down, with his hands on his legs and as if in pain. He is in that position for a while, as if recovering and it is difficult for him to raise his head. When he does, he touches his fingers to his eyes and goes back to his business. He doesn’t have a good face, but it may be just one more step in a process that is not being a good drink for him or for the fans. At 36, Rafa Nadal is experiencing the toughest battle against injuries. She knows that his age matters, that his recoveries are slowing down and that he needs more time. Hence his absence in so many tournaments. Roland Garros is about to start and he is waiting for Rafa Nadal, if he is ready.
