A six-to-eight week projected recovery time is about to reach 14 weeks, and Nadal “can’t work out what I need to do to compete.”
“The weeks are passing, and I had the desire of being able to play in tournaments that are the most important in my career — such as Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Roland Garros — and for the moment I have missed Monte Carlo and Barcelona. I will not be able to be in Madrid [next week], unfortunately.”Nadal has not played since injuring his left hip in a second-round Australian Open loss to Mackenzie McDonald on Jan. 18, falling well short of.
“The [hip] injury still hasn’t healed, and I can’t work out what I need to do to compete,” Nadal said, punctuating his video announcement with shrugs. “I was training, but a few days ago we decided to change course a bit, do another treatment and see if things improve to try to get to what comes next.
Nadal signed off with “a very strong hug to all” and promised to share any news he might have going forward. As for his frame of mind, he said he has “no choice but to try to have the right attitude throughout this time, try to give myself the opportunity to compete in one of the tournaments that remains of the clay season, and I have no choice but to work and be with the right mentality.”
