The doctor of the national tennis team and of Rafa Nadal, Ángel Ruiz-Cotorro, the Balearic tennis player, who starts the year as number 2 in the world, sees “in a development phase” to compete in the Australian Open starting January 16.
“It’s fine, in the progression phase, because it’s what you need when the year ends without rhythm“, stressed the doctor, to the questions of journalists, in the presentation of a course on sports medicine to be held in mid-March at the Palacio de la Magdalena in Santander, where he made these statements.
In Ruiz-Cotorro’s opinion, Nadal is having a “good match and feels good”despite the fact that yesterday, Monday, he lost the first game of the season against Australian Alex de Miñaur, world number 24, in the United Cup.
“Hopefully, like all Spaniards, Carlos (Alcaraz), Pablo (Carreño), Roberto (Bautista), will be ready to fight in Australia. and we hope everything will be fine”, added the Spanish team doctor.
