Rafael Nadal He was removed by the American Frances Tiafoe, his executioner in the round of 16 of the US Open 2022 by 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 and 6-3. “I’m not one of those who look for excuses. Sometimes you can handle everything and sometimes you can’t,” he explained minutes after leaving center court, the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
“I made an effort, it didn’t go well,” he explained while making sure he was focused on his personal life. Home to new fatherhood for a few weeks. When asked about his immediate sports future, he attributed it to having his first child. “Now I have more important things to attend to. Later decisions will be made based on how things are going in my personal life, which always comes before my professional life.”
His wife, Mery Perelló, has been in a clinic in Palma de Mallorca for a few days, but Rafa Nadal has made it clear in New York that everything is under control.
He delayed his trip to North America for a week, bypassed Canada, and went straight to USA to allow time to recover from an abdominal injury, which he also protects by changing the dynamics of the serve.
“I’ve tried everything, I’m happy with how I trained last week, but at the competition level maybe more new and training is lacking. More calm too”, analyzed the Spaniard.
“I didn’t play well,” he said bluntly. Adding that “I wasn’t able to perform at the level I needed. It only remains to congratulate my rival, who played better. When you don’t play well, you don’t win.”
“I have to go back (home). I have to sort things out, life, so I don’t know when I’ll be back. I’m going to try to be ready mentally. When I feel like I’m. I’m ready to compete again , I’m going there,” he said.
“It’s been a few months that have been quite difficult in every way, this is the truth. And from there, start again professionally speaking and, on a personal level, finish something important in my life, which is having my first son and trust that everything will be fine.
