On Sunday, Rafael Nadal will play in the final of the 2022 Roland Garros after sad scenes in his semifinal match on Friday.
It will be a great chance for Rafael Nadal to win his 22nd Grand Slam title in the final of the 2022 Roland Garros, but in a recent interview, the Spaniard admitted that he would trade his 14th title from the French capital for better health.
"I would prefer to lose Sunday's final and get a new foot," Rafael Nadal admitted. "I would be happy with my life with a new foot. Win is beautiful, but life is much more important than any title. Especially after the career that I had."
"I am old enough to not hide things or come here and say something I don’t believe. I have what I have in the foot, so if we aren’t able to find an improvement or a small solution then it’s becoming super difficult."
"At no time do I want this to seem like a farewell. We will continue working to find solutions to what is happening down with my foot. I trust and hope to be able to return. This last year has been difficult."
"Day to day, with everything that it entails, has been difficult not just because of all the effort but to stay competitive. And I play to be competitive. It’s what makes me really happy. We will keep thinking about the things we need to improve and the desire is to continue.”
