Nadal intends to play at Big W
MADRID: Rafael Nadal intends to play at Wimbledon after going “a week without limping” thanks to new treatment on his painful left foot, the 22-time Grand Slam champion said on Friday. “My intention is to play Wimbledon,” Nadal said.
“If things don’t go as I would like, then we will see what will happen. (But) I am happy. I have gone a week without limping.”
Nadal had said after winning his 14th French Open title two weeks ago that he was not sure if he could continue to play with the foot pain. He was only able to finish Roland Garros after numbing his foot with painkilling shots.
The mild improvement to the chronic condition came after Nadal visited a clinic in Barcelona last week to receive radiofrequency treatment to the pained nerves.
