Nadal was subjected to a “pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment” in a Barcelona clinic, which numbs “the nerves in the region of the injury from which he suffers”, his spokesman said on Wednesday.

Nadal has suffered for years from Müller-Weiss syndrome, a degenerative and incurable disease which is characterized by the deformation of one of the bones of the foot. The Spanish champion has revealed that he had to play the Roland-Garros final with an anesthetized foot, but that he is not ready to repeat the experience.



“I will be there if my body allows me. Wimbledon is a priority, the Grand Slam tournaments are a priority. Play them under anti-inflammatory, yes. With anesthetic injections, no,” Nadal said when asked if he was going to participate in the London tournament this year, which he had not played in 2021 for, he said at the time, “ let his body recover”.

The world No. 4 is at his home in Mallorca. He will stay there “three or four days with normal physical activity, to maintain himself” and “if the evolution of the treatment is positive, he will resume training on the courts”, specified his spokesperson. It is not excluded that Nadal must “carry out a second treatment depending on his evolution next week”, concluded the spokesperson.
