“It cannot be foreseen”: Nadal
Talking about how long will he continue to play, Rafael Nadal said: “I do not know. It cannot be foreseen. I see myself playing until the head gives me to be able to maintain the passion for what I do. It is also true that I think it’s easier for the head to maintain the illusion if the body responds to you.”
The ‘King of Clay’ has had an injury-prone career but plans to continue to play on the professional tour until his body gives more pain than normal. While the 33-year-old does not fear retirement, he also feels that it is not good to think about it.

“If the body doesn’t let you compete in freedom because you have more pain than normal, it is the law of life and you have to end things. You cannot know. I don’t think it’s good to think about it now. I also have no fear. It is not planned. When the time comes I will know and it will be done,” the Balearic concluded.
