Video: Nadal Arrives in Halle Unsure of Grass Court Success
Another week, another surface for world No. 1
Rafael Nadal
.
Fresh off winning his ninth French Open title, Nadal arrived at the Gerry Weber Open in Halle, Germany, on Monday. Despite Nadal being ready to go, even the Spanish superstar was unsure of how well he will make the transition from clay to grass.
"I want to try to play well again in Wimbledon. I'm healthy. That's the most important thing, I feel. I hope my knee will have the positive feeling on grass, because I feel my knee better than last year in the rest of the surfaces," Nadal said after winning his ninth title in Paris.
Nadal, after winning the French Open last year, withdrew from Halle as a precaution due to his ongoing recovery from a knee injury.
"Grass always was a little bit harder for me after the injury. I get injury here in 2012. I played 2012 Wimbledon with that injury. I never played a match after that Wimbledon. Last year I tried, but I was not enough ready to compete in Wimbledon. Let's see how is my feelings there this year, but it's very important tournament."
Nadal looks forward to competing this week and seeing how he fares despite the tough transition.
"I missed it last year. I don't want to miss it two years in a row. At the same time, is the right way to prepare Wimbledon. So I really want to do it and try my best there. We will see what's going on."
