Nadal injuries blessing in disguise says, Chris Evert
She highlighted how the Spaniard will need to be at his best from a physical standpoint to compete in the best-of-five format at Roland Garros.
Tennis legend Chris Evert believes Rafael Nadal's injury problems are a blessing in disguise as they allow the Mallorcan time to rest his body. "I think with his record this year, he has lost one match so far," Evert told Eurosport.
"He had that streak of so many tournaments and so many wins, and he has had a wonderful start to 2022. I think this injury is a hiccup." The 18-time Slam champion then shifted her focus to the French Open. She highlighted how the Spaniard will need to be at his best from a physical standpoint to compete in the best-of-five format at Roland Garros.
"He has put his body through the mill the last 20 years and I think the more important thing right now is making sure that he is healthy, especially when you are playing three out of five sets," Evert said. ATP Madrid Masters preliminary entry list is out and adding excitement to tennis fans across the world, all top players are present in the initial list to participate in the event.
Notable entries include world no. 1 Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev, and Rafael Nadal, who is currently trying to recuperate from his rib injury.
