Roland-Garros is an orphan of his king. Lost in Monte Carlo, then in Madrid, and then in Rome due to a thigh muscle injury he had been carrying since mid-January, Rafael Nadal made the decision. He will not participate in the French Open, according to a Spanish newspaper. brand. The Mallorcan, a 14-time Parisian clay winner, a record, will make the announcement on Thursday, May 18, during a press conference he convened at 4:00 pm at the premises of his academy in Manacor. At the age of almost 37, on June 3, he decided not to defend his title at Porte d’Auteuil from May 28 to June 11, for the first time in 18 years.
Since their loss in the second round of the Australian Open to Mackenzie McDonald (6-4, 6-4, 7-5) on January 18, Rafa have not replayed in official matches. An eternity on the scale of a pro player, even one like him, whether it be in terms of rhythm, confidence in the game, or confidence. And the latest news about him does not inspire optimism, like this video, widely distributed on social networks, in which he, last week, weak and sickhands on knees for long seconds during a shortened workout.
No pension… yet
“Despite the improvement in recent weeks, he is not ready to compete at the level required to win Grand Slams.”writes Cadena SER drawing Rafael Nadal “somewhat discouraged”. “There were days when he was forced to stop (to train, approx. ed.)and he hasn’t raced since January 18…” Thus, for the first time since he played his very first match at Roland Garros in 2005, at the age of just 19, the undisputed king of clay is preparing to miss “his” tournament.
The main event on the track, he only took off once in Paris, in 2016, before the third round due to a too sore left wrist. “There is no doubt that for the world of tennis, Roland Garros would not be the same without Nadal, given the success he has achieved and the impact of his victories on the history of our sport.”agreed was his rival Novak Djokovic, with whom the Spaniard co-owns a number of Grand Slam titles, totaling 22 titles.
- Muller-Weiss syndrome: what is this disease that interferes with Rafael Nadal?
If the message about his package is no longer in doubt on the other side of the Pyrenees, he should stop there. The early end of the career of Rafael Nadal, already suffering from Muller-Weiss syndrome, a rare pathology that affects the foot bone, is out of the question. His announced fall in the ATP rankings beyond world No. 130, which would no longer give him protected status, will not be enough to convince him to hang up his racket. According to his inner circle, quoted by Cadena SER, “he always wanted to say goodbye on the court, at competitions”. “Do not panic !”, soothes the radio. At least for now.
