The Spanish Rafael Nadal (2nd in the ATP ranking), top favorite to win the Roland Garros title, criticized the tournament conditions for this season, ensuring that it is at a clear disadvantage in relation to previous years.
Nadal said at a press conference that “Of all the times I have played it, it is the one with the most negative conditions“, emphasizing the new balls that will be used in the competition:”It’s like a stone “, adding that surely they will be changed for the next editions because “the health of the tennis players is important”.
Continuing with the adverse situations, the former world number one expressed that “there are nine degrees, to play a tournament abroad we are at the limit. Besides, it’s raining every day, the balls are different, but I just have to adapt to all that. “
Similarly, the Mallorcan argued that “I will leave everything every day, with aptitude and predisposition to accept the challenges that may arise and overcome them, knowing that the conditions are not ideal. What I cannot fail is in my attitude. “
“I have to build every day the improvements that will lead me to have a good tournament. If I didn’t want to take on the challenge of aiming for the best I wouldn’t have come. I have the illusion of competing in another Roland Garros at 100 percent. Conditions are not ideal and preparation could have been better. But you have to live together. I am not going to increase the problems that the situation already presents, I am going to try to minimize them with work, “he closed.
