The Spanish player spoke to Laurent Delahousse on France 2, as he is due to enter the competition on Monday.

“I am ready to fight” Rafael Nadal told Laurent Delahousse on France 2, Saturday May 25, one day before the start of the Roland-Garros tournament. “I had a difficult first round, even very difficult” admitted the Spanish player, who fought against physical problems to be able to return to Roland-Garros. He promised that he would be on the Roland-Garros course on Monday “if nothing strange” didn’t happen by then. The player also admittedit was “very likely” let this be his last participation.

No longer seeded, the Spaniard will face Alexander Zverev (4th in the world and winner in Rome) in the first round on Monday. The German had given up against Nadal due to a major injury to his right ankle during the 2022 semi-final. In the process, the Spaniard won his 14th coronation on Parisian soil.
