Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal
Rafael Nadal talks about Doctor Cotorro and the crucial help that he is providing to the 13-time french open winner to make it to his 14th title. On Tuesday, Nadal played an unbelievable match against Novak Djokovic who was considered to be the favorite before the match.
Djokovic was first asked that was he surprised to look at Nadal’s physical condition. To which he replied by saying “No”. He said that he wasn’t surprised at all. Nadal is a great fighter who could fight through injuries and setbacks to do unbelievable things. He said that this isn’t the first time he has seen Nadal turning around from injuries.
Rafael Nadal was asked a similar question about producing such a dramatic turnaround from injury infested few months before French Open. There is no doubt that he has the potential to make a comeback at any given point but at an age nearing 36 in a few days making such a turnaround is nearly impossible.
All the credit goes to his determination to work with his team, physios, and other important members to get ready for a big tournament. He has once again shown us that you could never rule Rafael Nadal out of a battle.
Rafael Nadal talks about Doctor Cotorro
After an exit in Rome Rafael Nadal mentioned that he’ll be having Doctor Cotorro at the french open to help him and he did bring him with him to the french open.
When he was asked did he honestly believe before the French Open that he’ll be able to play 8 hours and more than 30 minutes in a period of 48 hours? Nadal while answering the question opened up about him working with a doctor between the matches who helps him do the right things helping him stay injury fit for a longer period of time.
Nadal said, “Well, I told you that in Rome that I’m gonna have my doctor here with me, that having the doctor here you can do things that helps, no? So it’s not the moment to talk about that. I said that we are gonna talk about that after the tournament when my tournament finish.”
“But, yeah, I am putting everything that I have to try to play this tournament with the best conditions possible, no? I don’t know what can happen after, honestly, but here I think I gonna be fine”
