Rafa defeated Novak Djokovic in four sets and will play in the semifinals. After intense rivalry, a journalist asked him to continue participating in the next editions of the Paris Grand Slam. What did you answer?
Rafael Nadal won 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 and 7-6 at Novak Djokovic and advance to the semifinals of Roland Garroswhere will face Alexander Zverev. After the meeting, which lasted four hours and 12 minutes, a Spanish journalist asked not to say it again (I already did this after round of 16) that it could be his last participation in the Paris Grand Slam. His answer left more doubt than certainty.
Nadal has a chronic injury to his left foot, known as Müller-Weiss Syndrome.: It was a tarsal scaphoid dysplasia that, if operated on, would prevent him from running again in his life. Because of this, Rafa always plays with discomfort when walking. In this context, he previously said that the fight with Djokovic could be his last against Roland Garros.
Now that he has defeated the Serbian, he needs to continue playing, but that does not guarantee that he will continue to participate in his favorite tournament in subsequent editions. “Please come back. Don’t say this might be your last chance. “, the journalist asked. The entire stadium supported the move. However, Nadal laughed in response: “I can only say that we will meet in two days “.
