“Hello everyone. It’s been a while since I communicated directly with you. It has been difficult weeks and months. As you know, I suffered a major injury in Australia, at the PSOAS”, with these words the video of Rafael Nadal, in front of the camera, referring to the injury that has plagued him since the beginning of the year.
The Mallorcan tennis player is considered a legendary figure of the white sport. A position that stands out even more after the withdrawal of the Swiss stadiums Roger Federer happened last year. “At 36 and a half years old, I know that I am in the final stretch of my career, but I do not consider it. My emotion was not for that at all, it was simply the moment and the person who was retiring and the admiration for Federer,” Nadal said at the time.
“In principle it had to be a six to eight week recovery period. Let’s go for fourteen and the reality that the situation is not what we would have expected. The medical indications have been followed, but somehow the evolution has not been what they told us. We find ourselves in a difficult situation, the weeks are passing, and I had the illusion of playing in tournaments that are the most important of my career, such as Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Madrid, Rome and Roland Garros”, pointed out the tennis player, facing the camera, close-up.
“The injury still hasn’t healed and I can’t work what I need to compete. I was training, but a few days ago we decided to change course and do another treatment to improve things. It is the current situation. I want to send a greeting to all the public in Spain. There is nothing left but to try with the right attitude during all this time and try to give myself the opportunity to compete during one of these tournaments that is left in the season, “he concluded.”The matador”.
The Iberian athlete is the holder of a total of twenty-two trophies Grand Slam, two australian openfourteen Roland Garros, two Wimbledonfour US Opens, while his mythical Swiss archrival won twenty cups, six Australian Opens, one Roland Garros, eight Wimbledons, five US Opens. A sports cycle that tennis will remember throughout the decades.
