Rafael Nadal in Monte-Carlo, it’s far from over: “I don’t know when I’ll be back”

This is a tweet that delighted all fans of Rafael Nadal. Last Thursday, the official account of the Masters 1000 of Monte Carlo announced the presence of the Spanish champion, ready to conquer a 12th title on the Rock. But four days later, it was the Majorcan himself who put a little air conditioning to the general enthusiasm by denying this information.

On the occasion of an event organized by his foundation, the king of clay reacted on Monday and the least we can say is that he was much less categorical than the organizers. “I don’t know who is spreading this information, and if it was true I would confirm it, but unfortunately I can’t.“, he confided.

I am in a labor intensification phase

Rafael Nadal hasn’t appeared on the courts since losing the Australian Open second round to Mackenzie McDonald on January 18 due to a serious psoas injury. On several occasions, he has spoken in recent weeks to explain that he did not know when he would be able to resume competition. He has not changed his speech, as the clay court season is about to begin.

I continue my wayhe said on Monday. I don’t know yet when I will return. I’m in a labor intensification phase, and if I knew, I would say so, but since I don’t know, I can’t tell you. Things are changing day by day, and I don’t say things I can’t do. I prefer to say things when I really know and right now I don’t know“.

The only valid information so far is that Rafael Nadal is on the entry list, but that doesn’t mean he will participate in the tournament. The Monte-Carlo Masters 1000 will start in less than two weeks, on Sunday April 8. This leaves the former world number one little time. His decision should be made no later than next week.
