Tennis ace Rafael Nadal has described his body as an ‘old machine’ ahead of the upcoming French Open. The Spaniard made his comeback after a month out through injury at last week’s Madrid Open.
The 21-time Grand Slam champion’s event was cut short at the quarter-final stage, after losing to fellow Spaniard and eventual winner Carlos Alcaraz in a mouthwatering tie on the Madrid clay. His return in Spain was a timely one, with the French Open kicking off in a matter of weeks.
However it seems Nadal’s fitness isn’t what it once was, after he made some alarming comments regarding his body condition at this week’s Italian Open - hinting that he could well struggle at Roland Garros later this month.
