Rafael Nadal has dealt with many injuries in the past few months bowing out of the Australian Open with an injury as well.
Nadal battled an injury at Roland Garros but prevailed in the end. He battled on at Wimbledon but was unable to play in the semi-final because of it. He was affected by the same injury at the US Open and now another one at the Australian Open.
In his mind he is not retiring for now. Another thing is what the doctors say or that he has more pain than he touches. The moment is still good and if he is fit, he will continue.
Hearing that Nadal plans to keep going is good news for his fans because the injuries are piling up and the GOAT race with Djokovic looks more and more like an impossible task. Toni has his own doubts about Nadal being able to compete with Djokovic.
In the end it's a complicated fight against a great champion like Djokovic. To overcome Djokovic is difficult because Djokovic is fresher than him. He will have options at Roland Garros and after France. We'll see.
