Novak Djokovic Hopes for Rafael Nadal’s Return to Roland Garros

“As a tennis fan, I hope Nadal can come back and play on his favorite clay at Roland Garros.” There is no doubt about Novak Djokovic’s intentions. Winner last year in Paris in the absence of the Spaniard, the Serbian wants to see the owner of the Porte d’Auteuil again. “It’s a shame to see that he’s been out since the start of the year. I don’t know where he’s at with his body, but he’s the player who has the most right to do what he wants , he is a legend,” added the world number 1.

After a year of absence for treatment, Nadal returned to the circuit in January in Brisbane, but he injured his thigh in the quarter-finals and withdrew from the hard court tournaments where he was expected (Open from Australia, Doha and Indian Wells where he felt “not ready”). The Spaniard had not planned to play in Miami at the end of March, but was enthusiastically expected in Monte Carlo. Thursday, he announced that he would give up this tournament which he has won eleven times.

So does Djokovic think his great rival will be able to play at Roland Garros in May? “That’s the question of all questions. Nobody knows, except him and his team,” replied the Djoker.
