Nadal Plans to Travel to London with Intent to Play Wimbledon


By Chris Oddo | @TheFanChild | Friday, June 17, 2022

Rafael Nadal will head to London with the intention of playing at Wimbledon. After his fifth practice of the week in Mallorca, the 22-time Grand Slam champion spoke to media of his intentions.

Nadal underwent radiofrequency ablation treatment on his left foot to quell nerve pain after winning his 14th Roland-Garros title on June 5th. Nadal says his condition has improved since undergoing the procedure ten days ago.

"I have not felt so much pain this week. My intention is to try to play at Wimbledon. This week here tells me there is a chance I can play,” Nadal said. "With the treatment in the nerves, strange things happen in your foot. You feel numb in some areas and not in others. It's normal, after a few weeks the nerves reorganise themselves. A bit of pain, but different to before, which for me is progress."


Nadal says he plans to play an exhibition and remains hopeful that he can take his place in Wimbledon’s main draw, which begins June 27.
