“It would be messy” Top tennis journalist shares his views on Rafael Nadal’s participation at Roland Garros

With the French Open nearing by the minute, more and more rumors are stirring in the pot. One of the main being the participation of Rafael Nadal. There was always an air of doubt hovering over Nadal’s participation in the tournament where he has dominated with 14 titles. 

Unfortunately, even the Spaniard did not drop any hints about his participation. Instead, he revealed information that highlighted how he would focus more on the upcoming Paris Olympics at the expense of Roland Garros. 

However, now the participation of Nadal has become a little clearer, even though nothing official has been released. 

Even famous tennis journalist Benoit Maylin had a few words about the interview and even revealed some important points in the video. The journalist revealed that things can get ugly for Nadal, who would be placed alongside a top-ranked player and might end his French Open run on a grim note. 

Will he come or not come?” I am, of course, talking about Rafa at Roland Garros. This is the million-dollar question since he left doubts lingering after his defeat in Rome against Hurkacz. Finally defeated… a spanking rather. And it's true that it would be messy to see Nadal get humiliated in the first round in his tournament that he has won 14 times and where only two players have managed to beat him. 

Said journalist Benoit Maylin in a video. 

At the time of writing, no official confirmation has been released, but even the fans expect Nadal to be present at Roland Garros and compete for a shot at his 15th title. Moreover, the draw is more open than ever, and every other player has a good shot at the title. 

Soderling and twice Djokovic, three defeats in 115 matches. Especially since at the start of this fortnight, during which he will celebrate his 38th birthday, he will not be protected. It can fall on anyone right away.

Rafael Nadal left a cryptic message about his participation at the Roland Garros after his exit from the Italian Open

Recently, there have been many speculations about Rafael Nadal’s participation at the Roland Garros. Although he has been giving very dry responses to the questions asked about his participation, there was one message that Nadal left that could be some possible happy news for the fans. 

After losing to Hubert Hurkacz at the Italian Open, the Spaniard left a cryptic message, talking about his intentions for the upcoming Roland Garros. He said that the decision to participate isn’t clear as of now, but he hopes to play in his favorite tournament. 

The decision (to appear at the French Open) as you can imagine, is not clear in my mind today. But if I have to say what’s my feeling and if my mind is closer to one way or the other way, I’m going to say I will be in Roland Garros and try my best.

According to AS, the Spaniard has flown to Paris to participate in the French Open. Fans are extremely delighted to witness their favorite player in action in the tournament, where he has always been dominant.
