Nadal will travel to London with the aim of playing Wimbledon and confirming his fatherhood

After a whole week of testing yourself on the grass Santa Ponsa Country Club in Majorca, Rafael Nadal (36 years old) appeared this Friday at a press conference, where he answered two big questions about him: his presence or not at Wimbledon and his possible fatherhood, which he has yet to say.

ALL DECLARATIONS BY NADAL AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE

Nadal, who in France won him 14th Roland Garros for the sum of 22 Grand Slammade the first parliament and then answered all the questions generated by the journalists who attended the event in Spanish, Majorcan and English.

Rafa didn’t beat around and quickly confirmed his intention to play at the facilities of All England Club with these words: “What was done in Barcelona, ​​which I’ve been to twice, was not a 100% immediate thing, but the changes were immediately noticeable and I noticed them. The sensations were quite weird, somehow the joint pain happens. ‘don’t let me stand up, sometimes a part of my leg is numb, sometimes I have ramps on my feet, but it seems like it’s normal and the nerve reorganizes after a few weeks. I ‘m happy, I’ve been without it for a week go lame. We have to wait, but my intention is to play Wimbledon. This week with training here, it’s telling me that there are options. On Monday I travel to London and if I’m traveling because I plan to play. “

However, Nadal was cautious: “Ultimately, it’s not a matter of math. It’s not a matter of medicine, and more of my problem. I think, from how I feel, evolution is enjoyable now. In these five days for practice and for me it’s an advance and it gives me a measure of travel to London, which I haven’t played in three years and I’m excited. I’m confident that things will go well “.

Nadal, twice won by Wimbledon2008 and 2010, have not hidden that “after three years of not playing on the grass, the sensations are improving, but I have a week of training left and I hope to reach the competition. Roland Garros It helps, but the grass is a very hard surface, not very logical, where any rotation is difficult. The first rounds will be important. I’m going to try to survive whatever it takes ”, especially since“ everyone is raised on grass. It’s a place where unexpected things happen, and it’s the tournament where you have the least reference before the tournament starts. ”

He was asked about the options he needed to chain the first three Grand Slams of the season –Australia, Roland Garros and now Wimbledon– to which the Spanish answer: “It’s hard for Australia to win, Roland Garros -the first time he’s achieved it as a professional- and Wimbledon and over 36 years old. No one in history has done that”

CONFIRM HIS PATERNITY

After reviewing the sports news, Nadal announced the second big question today: “If everything goes well, I will be a father. I am not used to talking about my personal life, for peace of mind for me and others.people who live with me, we live in a lower. It would be like this, the way life changes I don’t know because I have no experience, but I don’t think it will mean change in my professional life “.

And he finally drew on his sporting agenda after Wimbledon, always conditioned by the sensations sent to him by his left foot: “Then there’s another Grand Slam (USOpen) and I will do things to get as smooth as possible, following the logic within my body. Usually what I do is play Masters 1000, Canada and it has usually gone well for me, but because we know things are more unpredictable, and I am open to accepting things as they come ”
