Nadal will participate in French Open only if he feels he can compete effectively

Rafael Nadal’s participation in the upcoming French Open is uncertain as the 14-time Roland Garros champion admitted he would not be able to compete if the tournament started today. Speaking at the Madrid Open, Nadal expressed his determination to fight for the chance to play at his most successful tournament one last time.

After spending almost a year on the sidelines due to a psoas injury, Nadal made a comeback in Brisbane in January but has struggled with injuries since then. Despite not feeling at his best, the Spaniard is set to face 16-year-old American Darwin Blanch in his Madrid opener.

Nadal, who is on a farewell tour of sorts, admitted that his return to the professional tour hasn’t been as enjoyable as he had hoped. However, he remains grateful for the opportunity to compete again, even if he is not at his peak physically.

The 37-year-old acknowledged that his body limitations are hindering his ability to compete at the level he would like to. Despite hitting the ball well, Nadal is struggling with body issues that are affecting his performance on the court.

As Nadal continues to push himself to play at the French Open, fans are eagerly awaiting to see if the tennis legend will be able to make a comeback at one of his favorite tournaments. Only time will tell if Nadal will be able to overcome his physical challenges and compete at Roland Garros once again.
