Rafael Nadal has made progress toward a comeback following treatment for a longstanding foot problem, but he has yet to decide whether or not to compete at Wimbledon this year.

Nadal said shortly after winning his 14th Roland Garros title and 22nd Grand Slam that he is unsure if he would participate at the All England Club this year since he played the Roland Garros with cortisone injections to get through the matches and admitted he "couldn't walk" after one of the matches. He did, however, announce that he was about to start a new round of nerve treatment.

“It’s going to be a radiofrequency injection on the nerve to try to burn the nerve a little bit and create the impact that I have now on the nerve for a long period of time,” Nadal said. “If that works, I’m going to keep going. If not then it’s going to be another story.”

Cadena SER sports programme reported that: “The sensations are positive but we have to see how it evolves with the workload. If the answer is positive during the week, he will decide whether to take the step and participate in Wimbledon. There is optimism, but with caution to see the evolution.”
