The coach of the Spanish champion is not yet certain of Rafa’s participation in Paris
“At this point, nothing is decided. He is competing, and while the outcomes are unusual, he is content and in good health. We’re not used to it, but I knew it would be a really challenging procedure. We shall now attempt to proceed this week with the goal of attending Roland Garros the following week. Due to the current circumstances, the objective is to proceed day by day,” said Moya, as reposted by Diario de Mallorca.
In an interview with Televisió, the coach provided additional analysis, saying, “We are attempting to establish a rhythm, pushing forward little by little as we enter the competition. He is a distant relative who has had multiple injuries in the past few months. He obviously lacks some competitive rhythm, but since there aren’t any more events, he won’t have any. Anything that can be taught and given more time to practice on the court will accumulate. Physically and mentally, there has been progress since Barcelona, but the most notable change has been the assurance of being able to endure a five-set battle.”
There’s not much further to go before what should be one of the most sentimental and eagerly awaited tennis tournaments in the annals of our great game. Considering that Roland Garros may mark Rafael Nadal’s final farewell to the Parisian Slam,. Rafa and Roland Garros have been synonymous for twenty years; this should be his final visit to these courts for Rafa, who penned indelible pages of tennis history in Bois de Boulogne. Even though Nadal left some optimism in his final words,. Following his loss to Hubert Hurkacz, the Spaniard made it clear in the Rome press conference that this might not be his final encounter in Rome.
“As I stated at the start of the competition, I accept the circumstances. Rome and I have always sensed the affection and support of the people. Since there won’t be many chances for them to see me perform again, everyone is now even more thrilled. But I’m the tennis player with the most victories here. As a player, I want to be recognized for the outcomes I produce and for leading by example. It was a challenging day. I have to admit that my performance wasn’t good enough and that I wasn’t ready. Now is the time to decide if you want to play at Roland Garros or not. We play in two weeks, and I’m not sure what I want to do. I will play Roland Garros and give it my all if I have to sum up the feelings I’m experiencing in my mind. I have a few issues, but not enough to prevent me from competing in the biggest event of my professional life. We’ll see how I feel in the morning, both physically and mentally. I’ll try to play Roland Garros if I’m feeling good.
Rome? I’ve always maintained that I will never be able to express my gratitude to the fans for their unwavering love and support during my whole career. This is where I’ve played some of my biggest and most thrilling games. In Rome, after trying times, I have frequently found my tennis again. I don’t know if this was my last visit, but it was always enjoyable. I’m sure it will be. I have no knowledge of ceremonies.I never claimed that this would be my final visit. I may have mentioned that once before in Madrid, but I’m not sure if it was this time. Thus, things are not the same as they were in Madrid. I didn’t anticipate a celebration following the match,” Nadal said.
