Clearly, the communication of Rafael Nadal and his clan is difficult to understand. While, from Barcelona, the situation seemed quite clear, the Manacor bull attempted a rather unexpected backpedal this Wednesday.
As a reminder, the king of ocher had announced that he was ready to “die” to play in Paris. In Barcelona, he even went so far as to declare: “If there is a tournament where it is worth giving everything and dying, it is in Paris.” Yes, but there you go. While a Roland-Garros marked by heartbreaking farewells from the Spaniard seemed to be looming, it may not be the case.
Indeed, on the sidelines of the Masters 1000 in Madrid where he will play for the last time, the Manacor bull had the opportunity to look back on the upcoming events: “I won’t be able to play 100% here but it means a lot for me to be in Madrid for the last time in my career. It’s a special place for me. […] I will only play at Roland Garros if I feel competitive. If I get there under the current conditions, I won’t play. If I can’t play, it won’t be the end of the world. I still have goals after Roland-Garros, like the Olympic Games. […] I’ve been through a lot over the last couple of years that doesn’t allow my body to compete the way I want it to. But, I don’t lose hope. In sport things can change very quickly.”
