David Ferrer, “optimistic” with Nadal and Alcaraz for Godó

He assures that Nadal is “with good feelings” training on the track and that Alcaraz is already training to be in Barcelona

BARCELONA, 12 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The director of the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell-71st Conde de Godó Trophy, David Ferrer, was “optimistic” about being able to count on the Spanish tennis players Rafa Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz in the Barcelona tournament, with the Mallorcan training with “good feelings” in ‘his’ track and with the Murcian starting to train after having to give up Monte Carlo.

“Well, today Rafa is training. He feels good both yesterday, finishing his training, and today, when he trained for two hours on the center court. It’s good news. From there, it’s neither confirmed nor ruled out. “Day by day, as Rafa and his team say,” Ferrer said in statements to TV3 reported by Europa Press.

“Well, we are happy with how his training is going in this regard. I don’t know, if he is closer to playing. That is something that both Rafa and his team would have to say. I wouldn’t dare to talk about a percentage,” He added, in this sense, about the 12-time winner in Barcelona, ​​that if he played he would say goodbye to his favorite tournament on the Rafa Nadal Court.

And he is even more optimistic with the current double winner of the tournament, Carlos Alcaraz. “In the case of Alcaraz, we will know something this weekend, on Saturday or Sunday. He started training today. I try and believe that I am positive that he can be with us and next week he can compete,” he alleged.

“He will be trying to play matches or training sets to see how he feels, but a priori it is not a really important injury that he cannot be there,” said former tennis player David Ferrer, director of the ATP500 tournament in Barcelona for a few years.

As for Roberto Bautista and Albert Ramos, invited by the organization this Friday, they assured that they are happy to help them. “Roberto Bautista has had a year with a lot of injuries and now he is starting to be able to compete and win matches. And Albert Ramos the same, right? They are homegrown players, Catalan, all their lives at the Real Club de Tenis Barcelona and here happy to be able to help them and that they are with us,” he said.
