Nadal decided to share the very difficult moments he experienced with his followers this Wednesday. “It’s been a very long year where we’ve gone through many phases, from trying to race again in the gravel season… Week after week, disappointment after disappointment, until it was time to say enough was enough and actually look for a solution, that was the operation.“, he says in a video posted on his social networks.

“From that moment on, everything became a new horizon. It’s a difficult road, I guess, but I always have the hope of coming back. “Of course there were a lot of doubts, of course there were moments when it seemed impossible for this moment to come, but the spirit of work, the enthusiasm was preserved and I think I am ready to come back.” Mallorcan will leave for a week of training at the academy he owns in Kuwait next week.

I am very happy to be back and with the hope of making the effort necessary to have fun and be competitive,” concluded the Manacor champion. His thoughts only include the Brisbane tournament, which symbolizes his long-awaited return to football courts: “I have had good weeks, training at a level that will allow me to compete again . I have gone through many stages, but today I think it is time to return to a tournament I have played in the past, a tournament that is familiar to me, a tournament with 250 people. I know it is a difficult tournament, but I hope so. Prepare for this, compete. “I aspire to nothing more than to be competitive.”
