Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal has had surgery on his injured left hip flexor two weeks after his cancellation for the French Open.
The operation was performed by three doctors in Barcelona on Friday, Nadal’s spokesman said. On Saturday, Nadal’s 37th birthday, there should be information about the course of the operation.
The 22-time Grand Slam tournament winner had not played a match since the second round at the Australian Open. Most recently he had canceled for the clay court classic in Paris and will be out for a long time. Nadal wants to end his glorious career in the coming year.
