The comeback days for Rafa Nadal seemed to have almost gone downhill, but now it seems to be left in doubt again. A few days ago, Mons Carlo Magister 1000 himself (April 9 at 16) announced that the Spaniard would return from there, to injure the iliopsoas ground after injuring his left leg at the Australian Open. Even more so when his uncle and former coach Toni Nadal also had hopes of a return to Monte Carlo.
But the manacorí sowed this the same day. The foundation act was held today in Palma de Mallorca, where he spoke to the media about his physical condition, his recovery and his return to competition. And that is what Nadal himself wanted to deny, which is indeed the day of his return. “I don’t know who receives this information, but clearly if it is true I will confirm it, but unfortunately I can’t confirm it. I followed my course and I don’t know when I will play again; It is true, I am in the process of increasing, so I knew when I was going to return, I would say that, but I don’t know, said the Spaniard.
Nadal wants to be safe and not risk his return
With that said, it is clear that the “22-time Grand Slam winner” wants to make sure that he is 100% physically fit and does not rush to play again if he fully recovers. From experience, it is usual for the Spaniard to do well and also not to disappoint the fans who were watching to see him on the slopes again. “I cannot confirm that I will play in Monte Carlo, which is seen every day. I prefer to say that I really know,” Nadal declared immediately.
In addition, a few days ago, his friend David Ferrer showed his joy that his return in Monte Carlo was made, when he saw that Nadal misses the face of the road on the clay court. His regular training increased to five days a week, so everything seemed to indicate that his recovery was on the right track and the time of his return was nearing.
Nadal already wanted this Monte Carlo Masters 1000 in 2022, to make it two years in a row without appearing in the event that he finally did not come in time with his injury. It must be known that he was the first to play in the tournament, since he was not one of the first eight seeds (since he is number 13 in the ATP ranking), more hunting than his direct rivals. reached the last Either way, we’ll have to wait and see how his leg continues to develop, so any judgment could hurt him in the future. We must remember that the pinnacle of this road is Roland Garros, its main purpose, so forcing a mature return is not the best decision.
