Rafael Nadal talks about his recovery and his comeback
Nadal also explained during the Movistar interview: “On June 2, I had hip surgery and since then I’ve been able to do other things besides tennis, things I’ve never had the chance to do.
I have gone through different stages but now I am trying to enjoy life. When I announced my retirement I did not know that I would need surgery, and I must say that since last year’s injury with Carlos it has always been difficult.
There is never a moment of peace, sometimes the results mask the suffering and the reality of every day.” Then Rafa continued: “I had to stop, at first I thought I could recover completely then I realized I couldn’t without a way to recover the psoas problem.
I had to have surgery and since the surgery things seem to be going well. Then it took me a few months to recover, the first was complicated. Then I had to completely disconnect, spend five weeks with my family and I had fun.” Finally, about his real chances to return to competition, Rafa stated: “I want to play again, I hope to be competitive again; I don’t want people to misunderstand, it’s not about winning Roland Garros or the Australian Open, I don’t consider it impossible but the priority is the return. competition.
In tennis, like all sports, you have to face insurmountable odds, one of which is age and the older you get the harder it becomes. I can’t say what my goals are, I’m in the middle of the recovery process and I don’t know what’s going to happen.
