‘A Tournament Nobody Wants to Miss’ – Rafael Nadal Desires to Play Wimbledon but Remains Ambiguous About Foot Condition

In today’s French Open final, Rafael Nadal showed the world that he is still the best player on clay, as he beat Casper Ruud to clinch his 22nd Grand Slam title. Incidentally, this was his 14th Roland Garros title as well.

A few days back, there were questions raised about his participation in Wimbledon. Many news sources reported that he will rest after the French Open, possibly to give time to heal his foot. However, his agent denied all those claims. After the French Open, he answered those questions himself.

Rafael Nadal talks about his participation in Wimbledon

During the press conference, Rafael Nadal, the 22-time Grand Slam champion, talked in detail about his participation in the next Grand Slam, i.e. Wimbledon. “I’m gonna be in Wimbledon if my body is ready to play Wimbledon. Wimbledon is a tournament nobody wants to miss. Players like me are always ready to play Wimbledon. Let’s see how it works,” he said during the press conference.

It is worth noting that Nadal has been struggling with his foot injury since the Italian Open. Last year, he had a surgery on his foot and came back to the Australian Open to win it. Now, he has won the French Open as well.

Incidentally, this is the first time he won both the Australian and French Open titles consecutively in his career. Now, he has a great opportunity to win Wimbledon as well as the US Open.

According to Rafa, he will try a new treatment on his foot next week. If it doesn’t work, the Spaniard will probably miss Wimbledon.

Is Nadal the GOAT?

Meanwhile, after winning the Roland Garros, he has now become the only male player to win 22 Grand Slam titles in the history of men’s tennis. Also, he has left both Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer way behind, as they are both sitting at 20 Grand Slam titles.
