Will fans see The King of Clay in his natural environs this year?
Rafael Nadal is, indisputably, one of the greatest tennis players in the history of at least the Open Era. But his intense, grinding style of play has taken its toll on his body. The fact that the Spanish phenom was winning Grand Slams well into his 30s was astonishing, considering his years of lower body injuries.Now, however, things seem to have taken a semi-permanent downward turn.
The French Open starts on May 20.'The decision as you can imagine, is not clear in my mind today,' Nadal said. 'But if I have to say what's my feeling and if my mind is closer one way or the other way, I'm going to say I will be in Roland Garros and try my best.''Probably one is to say, 'Okay, I am not ready, I am not playing well enough.' Then is the moment to take a decision in terms of not playing Roland Garros,' Nadal said.
