Nadal is apparently starting at Wimbledon

“Yes, he is playing in Wimbledon,” said his uncle Toni Nadal on Saturday on the sidelines of the ATP tournament in Stuttgart. His nephew will begin preparatory training for the third Grand Slam tournament of the year on Monday in his hometown of Mallorca on the sidelines of the Mallorca Open. “I'm sure if he has a small chance, he will play at Wimbledon,” added Toni Nadal (61). The 36-year-old Nadal had previously won the Australia and French Open. Just two days after his 14th victory at the French Open, Nadal underwent pulsed radiofrequency therapy in Barcelona for chronic pain in his left foot. The affected foot nerves would be anesthetized with this treatment and would no longer be able to transmit the pain stimulus to the brain, it was said. Immediately after the treatment, his nephew said that everything hurt. “I spoke to him again yesterday. At the moment it is much better, he is very happy,” said Toni Nadal. A second round of therapy is not ruled out. No long-term consequences to worry about The record Grand Slam winner had injections for the symptoms in Paris before each of his seven games. He also revealed that he took anti-inflammatories throughout the tournament in Bois de Boulogne. But this cannot be a permanent solution, he emphasized. At the tournament in Wimbledon from June 27th to July 10th, Nadal definitely does not want to repeat the Paris procedure. Toni Nadal does not fear long-term consequences. “It won’t be a problem later, it’s just the problem of playing right now,” said the 61-year-old. “If he had an operation, everything would be gone. But if he does, he will no longer be able to play at a high level. That's why he doesn't want to do that. Otherwise an operation would not be an issue.”
