Doubts remain about Rafa Nadal’s reappearance. The Balearic Islands are expected at the start of the clay court season, but the truth is that at the moment he is absent from both the Monte Carlo Masters 1000 and the Conde Godó Trophy, and his presence at the Mutua Madrid Open has not yet been confirmed..
Toni Nadal spoke about his physical state in the last hourswhich made it clear that his nephew was clearly betting on modesty.
“Let’s talk on Saturday. And it will only come back if it is in good condition, 100%. Otherwise, it will not do him any good. At the Australian Open, he played without his best”, he assured on ‘Bartoli Time’, the Radio Monte Carlo program hosted by former Wimbledon champion and Eurosport commentator Marion Bartoli.
“He wants to be good at playing again. What he wants most is to arrive at Roland Garros with confidence and in good physical shape. We have to wait, but he still has it in mind to try to win again, “added the former coach of the winner of 22 Grand Slam titles, who believes that Rafa is among the candidates for the title in Paris, even if he is not 100 %.
“Even if you don’t arrive in the best condition when you enter that track, everything changes.. What he needs is some games that are not too difficult to pick up the pace” he concluded.
