After winning his 22nd Grand Slam title, Rafael Nadal opened up about an issue that has been pestering him. Since his debut, Nadal has been in constant struggle with a persistent foot injury.

As soon as he won the French Open title, Nadal rushed back home to treat his foot. Later, he made it clear that he has no intentions to retire any time soon while confessing the threat that the injury imposes on his career. Amid the retirement speculations, the Spaniard surprised his fans by announcing his return to the Wimbledon Championships after a gap of two years.

Toni Nadal about Nadal’s current conditions

Toni Nadal, Rafael Nadal’s uncle and former coach spoke about the physical state of his nephew. With the Wimbledon Championships at the doorstep, he said, “It is almost impossible for Rafa to play because he needs rest before a Grand Slam. The week before, he prefers to train calmly and not be competing.”

Thereafter, Toni explained who, according to him, will be the best bet at SW19 and where Nadal stands in it.
