Nadal memorably won the French Open earlier this month even though he needed painkillers for the discomfort he was experiencing as a result of his chronic illness, Mueller-Weiss Syndrome. The 22-time Major winner had foot treatment to play Wimbledon without the need for injections to numb the pain.
It turned out to be a success and after participating in some exhibition matches and intense training sessions, López evaluated the conditioning of the tennis legend in the face of next week’s tournament after being well defeated in training against Francis Tiafoe before also losing in three sets to Felix Auger Aliassime. “There are good days and bad days,” López told EFE after Nadal had a training session with Tiafoe on Friday, which ended with a score of 6-2 and 4-1 in favor of the American.
“This surface is very relentless, everything happens very fast. We are training with people who serve very well. At the moment, everything is positive. The issue of the feet, which was always the most worrying, is fine.
