Rafael Nadal will decide next week if he actually participates in the tournament of Wimbledon. The Manacori tennis player has begun to train, although he does it without force on his left ankle to avoid what can reproduce the break in the escafoides that has kept him apart from the courts for the last month and a half. Nadal meditates now if it is convenient to return in the Grand Slam on grass or if it's better to wait until the clay tournaments (starting July 5th, at the finish of the London event).
The latest review of the ankle reveals that the injury of the Mallorcan player is evolutionizing positively but the doctor of the Spanish Federation, Angel Ruiz Cotorro, prefers to be prudent and has asked patience of Nadal's group. During this week, he has been training on foot, but without running so that the foot doesn't feel the effects, and has discarded participating in Halle (next week) and is practically sure that he will return to s'Hertogenbosch either (June 14th).
The next tournament is Wimbledon and the team of Rafael Nadal is studying if it is convenient to play in London, since despite being a Grand Slam it would be the only competition that he would play on grass, he would not do it at 100% of his conditions, and one week later he would have to return to play on clay. But Wimbledon is the preferred tournament of Rafael Nadal and the player wants badly to return to the competition. In the next days, he will begin to force the ankle a little to check if the insole, that they have made to try to protect the foot, functions and the player can compete without any risk of relapse.
