Rafael Nadal's uncle Toni - his former coach - remained tight-lipped on the future of the 22-time Grand Slam champion.
The Spaniard is currently recovering from a hip injury that derailed his chances of winning the recently concluded Australian Open. The 36-year-old reached the second round at Melbourne Park, but the hip problem saw him succumb to a straight sets defeat.
Nadal is expected to miss around eight weeks of action and, as of writing, it has not been confirmed whether or not he will play March's US Masters 1000 double of Indian Wells and the Miami Open. Should he miss these events, the former world number one hopes to return in time for the start of the all-important clay court season, but concerns around his future in the game remain unclear.
