Rafael Nadal is losing his battle to take part in the French Open after admitting his troublesome hip injury has still not healed.
The 14-time winner of the competition has stressed he "can’t work out what I need to do to compete" as the initial eight-week prognosis for his psoas problem has now stretched to 14 weeks without any improvement or solution.
Nadal, 36, sustained his injury at the Australian Open earlier this season back in January and could now be set to miss the next major tournament if he is unable to regain his fitness in time for the May 28 start date at Roland Garros.
