This Saturday, the Serbian spoke about the absence of Nadal, who had to give up the Masters 1000 in Monte-Carlo which begins on Sunday
Novak Djokovic assured Saturday that he hoped to see Rafael Nadal play in May at Roland Garros “on his favorite clay court”while the Spaniard, still injured, had to abandon the Masters 1000 in Monte-Carlo which begins on Sunday.
“As a tennis fan, I hope he can come back and play on his favorite clay at Roland Garros”declared the world No.1, winner last year in Paris in the absence of the Spaniard.
“It’s a shame to see that he’s been out since the start of the year. I don’t know where he is with his body, but he is the player who has the most right to do what he wants, he is a legend., added the Serb. 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 had considered himself “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. No one knows except him and his team.”replied the Djoker.
