Tobias Laure reports from the ATP tournament in Stuttgart
Rafael Nadal caused quite a stir in Paris.

Nadal later specified that he had received injections before every match in the tournament, otherwise participation was unthinkable.
Tsitsipas: “Pain like never before”
For Stefanos Tsitsipas it is difficult to imagine winning a big title with such problems, but he can empathize with how the 36-year-old felt.
Nadal exclusively: “I had no feeling in my foot. That was the only way I could play”
“I’ll tell you a story that, while not directly comparable, is at least a little similar to Rafa’s. I was once in a situation where I was in so much pain that I couldn’t play. That was in 2019 when I won the ATP Finals,” said Tsitsipas.
Like Nadal, he had the choice of playing with injection or not at all – and like the clay court king, this ultimately led to Tsitsipas celebrating one of the greatest successes of his career.
