“As a tennis fan, I hope he comes back and plays on his favorite clay at Roland Garros,” Novak Djokovic said at a press conference this Saturday, on the eve of the start of the Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo. It’s a shame to see him out since the start of the year. I don’t know where he is with his body, but he is the player who has the most right to do what he wants, he is a legend. »
After a year’s absence for treatment, Rafael Nadal returned to the circuit in January in Brisbane at the start of the year, but injured his thigh in the quarterfinals and had to withdraw from the expected hardcourt tournaments (Australian Open, Doha and Indian Wells, where he was considered ” unprepared”).
The Spaniard was not scheduled to play in Miami at the end of March, but was eagerly anticipated in Monte Carlo. On Thursday, he announced that he will give up this tournament, which he has won 11 times. So does Djokovic think his great rival will be able to play at Roland Garros in May? ” That is the question of all questions. No one knows, except him and his team,” replied Djoker, who won the Paris tournament last year in the absence of Bull of Manacor.
