The Mallorca tennis player believes that Federer still has the conditions to continue playing at a high level. “Federer is a player who no longer has anything to prove and it is more than proven that when he is healthy and well he has the ability to play at the highest level. I think he physically maintains himself well and if he is with the ability to play without pain I think it will come back competitive. How far? Time will tell. “
Nadal also appreciated Federer’s return to competition and the good news that this means for the tennis world. “If you ask me if I’d rather be the one who wants to come back winning a Grand Slam, of course (laughs). But I think it’s good for tennis that Federer returns competitive. That there is that rivalry I think makes our sport bigger. In a global way and not selfishly, I think it is something positive for our sport. “
