ATP > Corretja: “Nadal wins Roland-Garros, and two weeks later he is ready to play Wimbledon. I have the impression that only he can do that”

Alex Corretja is not recovering.

While he sensed a forced rest from Rafael Nadal because of his foot and a package at Wimbledon, the consultant for Eurosport was taken by surprise.

Already present in the English capital where he trained with two players for very disappointing results, the current 4e world player will participate in two exhibition matches before taking part in the third Grand Slam of the season. A situation that impresses the former Roland-Garros finalist.

“I have the impression that 2022 for Rafa has been a miracle, since the very beginning of the year. After winning the first tournament and then the Australian Open, he got injured again and didn’t have much time to prepare for Roland‐Garros. He ended up winning, and a week later, or two weeks later, I thought maybe he needed time to rest, to recuperate. And now he’s ready to play Wimbledon. I feel like only he can do that, honestly, because all the ups and downs he’s had physically, he’s overcome them. It shows how humble he is, and how much he wants to continue. »
