Rafa Nadal does not seem willing to give up Wimbledon. If the radiofrequency treatment works, he will step on the London grass on June 27
If the evolution is good in the next few days, the tennis player from Manacor will go to win his third Wimbledon
Without rest, without pause to revel in his latest feat at Roland Garros, Rafael Nadal He has not lost a second to start treatment for that damn chronic injury that he has suffered in his left foot since 2005, baptized as Müller-Weiss and discovered in the first quarter of the 21st century.
In his 19 years in top competition, Nadal’s body has gone through a real ‘way of the cross’ in the form of injuries or physical setbacks and, even so, he has made history in racket sport. Giving up has never been an option for him. In these last almost two decades stepping on courts, the Spanish tennis player has fallen as many times as he has gotten up.
Up to 23 ‘scars’ have been engraved on their flesh, on their joints, on their bones. Tears, fissures, tendinitis, punctures, inflammations, the blessed Müller-Weiss… His ability to fight, to cope with suffering, far from taking a toll on him physically and mentally, has made him stronger. Nadal transmits his ability to fight until the last point, until the last ball, from the courts to his life.
He is a fierce athlete, a warrior, capable of competing in pain and not showing a wince of torment.. His extraordinary mental strength has led him to accept each injury as another challenge. Only in this way is it understood that, far from having thrown in the towel now at 36 years old, he remains at the top of tennis, adding to his track record and flirting year after year with number 1.
After lifting the Musketeers Cup in the glamorous Philippe-Chatrier after defeating Casper Ruud, Rafael Nadal He has already undergone pulsed radiofrequency therapy which, he hopes, numbs, albeit temporarily, the sensitive nerves that have tormented him for years. If the treatment works, he will be, with the ‘scars’ of his 23 injuries, in complete safety on June 27 stepping on the grass of the All England central, at Wimbledon. 18 days left.
