At 36, Rafael Nadal is still winning Grand Slam tournaments and even has the possibility of becoming world number 1 again, if he wins the Cincinnati Masters 1000 this week and Daniil Medvedev does not reach the quarter-finals of the tournament. What push him to pull on the rope during the next months and the next years? Certainly not for the Majorcan who should have a very light schedule in 2023 if we read between the lines of his last statement at a press conference in Ohio.
“I won’t play more than I think my body can handle. I’m also going to have a baby! I’m just going to give my all on every event I go to. But that’s something I do every time, whether I’m in a position to be world number 1 or not. Obviously, I am happy to be in this privileged position. And if that happens, it will be an incredible feeling”guaranteed the Majorcan who will face Borna Coric this Wednesday in a night session for his entry into the running.
