It seems that there is already light at the end of the tunnel to Rafael Nadal. After more than three months without competing and having missed practically the entire clay court tour, the Spaniard is in the final stretch of his recovery and there is a good chance that he will be present at the Rome Masters 1000. In case of being in the Italian tournament, it would also be his only event prior to Roland Garros, which is Nadal’s big goal this season. This information comes from the hand of Carlos Moyá, who in a talk collected by L’Equipe during his stay in Madrid has assured that little by little his pupil is feeling better and he is already noticing daily progress.
“This May 1 has been the day off for Rafa. We’ll see each other on Tuesday in Manacor. Right now we’re doing more or less an hour and a half a day and we continue to progress day by day. It’s not even about being optimistic or pessimistic , just to observe the state of your progress on a daily basis. Of course these are difficult times because we missed tournaments that we love, but Rafa is a warrior, with an indestructible mind and when the time comes to return, we will be very motivated. Right now it is impossible to define the calendar, but if tomorrow when we see each other everything is correct the objective is to go to Rome and if it is not possible we will try to be at Roland Garros”, explained Nadal’s current coach about his plans in the coming weeks.
IT DOESN’T NEED AS MUCH RHYTHM AS SAYS
On the other hand, in a conversation with RTVE, Moyá stressed that the one who is having the worst time with this situation is Nadal himself, but that he continues to work like no one else and will have options at Roland Garros, because in his opinion the winner of 22 Grand Slams always ends up finding a way to surprise everyone. despite the time it takes off the slopes. “We are a bit sad for not having been able to debut in the clay court season yet. The one who is having the worst is him, but we try to encourage him and we are always optimistic. He continues with confidence, with Rafa you can always expect him to be I pulled a rabbit out of the hat. That’s why I think it’s always been an urban legend that Nadal needs a lot of games to be ready, when he has returned from injury he has always achieved good results”, concludes Moyá.
These words are undoubtedly great news for all tennis fans, since after a long time speculating about the possibility that Nadal was not present at Roland Garros, it seems that now there are many options for him to return to Paris to fight for the fifteenth crown. What is clear is that he won’t be short of wins and it must be remembered that the comebacks of the Spaniard have always been in style, the last one that was seen last season in Australia, when he won his second win in Melbourne.
