Alex Corretja had some things to say in his latest interview with the Chain BE.
After returning to the coronation of Carlos Alcaraz in Indian Wells and his return to first place in the world by comparing him in particular to a boxer when he is on the court, the Spanish consultant did not forget to mention the situation of Rafael Nadal who continues to train intensively within his academy with, of course, Roland-Garros in sight.
“The news is that Nadal has dropped out of the Top 10 for the first time in 18 years. The least important thing for Rafa today is his ranking. It’s true that the further we go down the rankings, the more we can end up against Alcaraz or Djokovic in the round of 16, but Rafa is well above all that, he must recover for clay, regain his feelings and be the best possible. With all due respect to Monte‐Carlo, Barcelona, Madrid and Rome, Nadal’s goal is to see how he performs at Roland‐Garros. I’m sure he’ll be fine, as the time he took to recover has also helped his preparation. Rafa should never be left out, he always shows that he has something more. »
