Toni Nadal is having a positive approach as he is optimistic that Rafael Nadal’s foot treatment will go well and that his nephew will be able to compete at Wimbledon. Nadal was able to compete at the French Open and win the title but his foot was completely anesthetized for two weeks.
After winning the French Open and returning to Spain, Nadal started undergoing a treatment for his chronic foot pain. Nadal has won the first two Grand Slams on the season and he would definitely love to give himself a shot at winning Wimbledon and winning all four Grand Slams in 2022.
“Wimbledon starts in less than two weeks, so let’s see if my nephew is there or not,” Toni Nadal told Eurosport Espania. “I think that he will be and that the treatment goes well. He wants to take advantage of the good sporting moment that he is going through and that has led him to be the winner of the two Grand Slams”.
Toni Nadal: Rafael Nadal has been battling since 2005
In 2005, Nadal was diagnosed with Mueller-Weiss syndrome. Still, Nadal has been able to have a very long and successful career. “He has had to overcome many difficulties and is still there despite having already won many things and being very successful,” Toni Nadal noted.
“Since 2005, he has been playing with a lot of pain to the point of sometimes being unable to finish a training session”. Meanwhile, doctor Angel Ruiz-Cotorro said Nadal is following the treatment and hoping to be able to compete at The Championships.
“Rafa is following the process, and the recovery is good,” Ruiz Cotorro told Spanish radio. “In two or three days we will look at the effects. In four days we will put him on court and evaluate the way the treatment is evolving. If there is any discomfort following treatment, we will have to look at whether he can play Wimbledon”.
