Nadal will be ready to play at Roland Garros, says the ex-coach of the Spanish tennis player

Injury to Rafael Nadal will not prevent the tennis player from playing at the French Open, says the uncle and former coach of the athlete Toni Nadal.

In January of this year, in the second round match of the Australian Open, Nadal suffered damage to the lumbar muscle. Initially, according to Toni Nadal, the recovery was supposed to take up to two months, but his “absence lasted a little longer.”

“He had an injury that led to some complications. He will have to wait a little longer. I believe he will be ready for Roland Garros. For everything to go well, he needs some preparation, so the goal is to be ready to participate in the tournament in Rome, play a little there, and then try to do something at Roland Garros. Rafa is not thinking about ending his career. He thinks about how to recover well and continue to play, because this is what he likes, — quotes the words of Toni Nadal Eurosport.

Earlier, Nadal said that he would not perform at the Masters in Madrid, and also doubted his participation in Roland Garros.

Nadal is a 14-time winner of the French Open. This year, Roland Garros will be held in Paris from May 22 to June 11. Tournament in Rome – May 10-21.
