This fortnight is likely to be Nadal’s final showing at the season’s
second major, where he boasts an unrivalled 112-3 match record across 18 appearances. But save the emotional farewell for another day: the former
No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings cited three important reasons why he
continues to relish each moment on Tour.
“In some way I don't want to close the door 100 per cent, because of a
very simple thing," Nadal said. "First thing, I am enjoying playing
tennis. Second thing, I am travelling with [my] family. They are
enjoying it. I am enjoying sharing all this process with them. And third
thing, I was not able to explore yet the proper way of how I will be
able to play being in more or less healthy conditions, playing without limitation.”
