Rafael Nadal’s coach Carlos Moya feels that it’s not yet time for the 37-year-old to retire from competitive tennis.
Fans were left disappointed as Rafael Nadal crashed to a 6-3 7(7)-6(5) 6-3 against Alexander Zverev in the French Open, on Monday. Speaking after this match, the Spaniard revealed that he wasn’t sure if it was his last appearance at Roland Garros.
During his post-match interview, he said, “The amount of energy.. It’s difficult for me to talk. I don’t know if it’s gonna be the last time here in front of all of you. I’m not sure. But if it’s the last time I enjoyed it. The crowd was amazing during the whole week of preparation. Today the feelings I have are difficult to describe in words. For me it is so special to feel the love of the people in the place I love the most.”
Nadal also indicated that he would not switch to grass and play Wimbledon before the Paris Olympics. Moya insisted that it wasn’t a positive idea and hadn’t spoken about it with Nadal yet.
