Good news - you want the best players at every tournament - especially Nadal on Chatrier - iconic.

Yea there was a thread about it some days ago.

I think this was never in doubt anyway. Of course he is gonna play. Ever since AO his whole preparation has been around FO. He is obsessed about it. Will his body be enough though? Lets see.

Same thread I made yesterday, indeed Uncle Toni has declared that the Bull will be there at RG

Uncle Toni says that Nadal is almost ready to return ....

Rafa bashers have always exaggerated everything Toni has said. Yes, can’t deny that either

I can’t say watching him win RG for the gazillionth time will make he happy.
But I don’t think I’ll have to worry. The tennis lord has given us Charlie to shake things up.
But I’m happy for OP. It’s amazing when your fav is healthy and competitive.

That is so not true. Why would Rafa forego Monte Carlo and Barcelona that he's won 11 and 12 times if he is not injured?

I would skip clay season entirely and would have started practicing on grass months ago and get ready for a big Wimbledon run. He needs that more for GOAT than 80th RG title. Another RG title does nothing but tell us what we have already known for 10 years. He’s clay GOAT. But to be true GOAT you need an expansively balanced resume. He needs more Wimbledon crowns. Not more clay title

Because he seems to get injured everytime he steps on court lately. He is not gonna risk it after a pretty major injury by playing MC or Barcelona.

You need gold medal above everything else.

Nadal has 8 GS off clay. He will be good.

Feels like a rerun (but for the umpteenth time).

Because he's almost 37 and winning those events for the millionth time is utterly irrelevant for his legacy. The only events meaning anything to Nadal are slams.

 

[big ted]

he bases his whole career on the FO why wouldnt he play it?

And he told you so?
