Rafael Nadal’s Career Hangs in the Balance: Can he Make a Grand Return at Roland-Garros?

For several months, Rafael Nadal has been fighting for the right to play a final season on the circuit. The Spaniard managed to make his comeback at the start of the year, but since then he has had to withdraw from numerous tournaments due to injuries. An end to his career reminiscent of that of Roger Federer, also undermined by injuries in recent seasons on the courts.

For the moment, Rafael Nadal’s return to the courts is not a success. Having been out of action for almost a year, the Spaniard made his comeback to competition last January, during the Brisbane. But the Bull of Manacor was injured again, and a new negative spiral then began.

Nadal multiplies the packages

From Brisbane, Rafael Nadal failed to line up in a single tournament. The Spaniard successively decided to ignore theAustralian Open, Indian Wellset Montecarlo. He doesn’t feel totally ready, and he doesn’t want to take any risks for what is his major objective this season, Roland-Garros. But with a very truncated preparation, and not many competitive matches in the legs, the passage of Nadal has Paris could be expeditious, if he manages to participate in the Grand Slam French.

Nadal is imitating Federer

During an interview with As, Feliciano Lopez, former Spanish player, spoke about the complicated end of his compatriot’s career. The very young retiree is afraid that Rafael Nadal emulate Roger Federer, who also had not been spared from injuries during his last seasons on the courts, which had somewhat undermined the end of his career. “The only thing I want is for him to recover as quickly as possible and be able to say goodbye to tennis by playing. It would be very sad for all tennis fans if Rafa cannot retire from tennis as he deserves. After what happened to Federer, it would be very sad if Rafa had to experience that too. As far as I know, he is improving and his injury is progressing, so I have high hopes that he can be here (in Madrid). »
