I know a lot of people are quite hopeful about Rafael Nadal. But I do not think that is going to be a good idea because he is not in his prime anymore. It is going to be very hard for him to actually achieve something from this tournament.
Another big problem is, he is facing quite a lot of injuries in recent times. I honestly do not think that he will be able to compete against the likes of Novak Djokovic and Alcaraz in this tournament.
With the latest injury things are looking not good for this legendary player and if he wants to stay in touch with more tennis he needs to complete rehabilitation and then join tennis again if his body allows him for this because now he is 36 and after few months he could be 37 mean things are getting worst for him with these injuries, and he needs to be more complete.
But, if he rush for this French Open then surely things could be no ok, and he can lose his career like we have Roger Federer even he was in his forties, but he needs to be perfect for having more titles and Grand Slams but now on Clay he has big challenge from his countryman Alcaraz as well because he is also doing good job and with the fightback of Djokovic we will have good interesting matches in coming days.
One man's loss is another man's gain. This is just the case with Djokovic having become number 1, following Rogers injury.
It was just one good news that kept blasting over my radio today. Djokovic sure has a lot to contend with right now, because a lot of eyes are on him to keep the new spot and prove he deserves it. I don't see his energy dwindling in coming games and tournament because he knows how far he has come and any mistake he makes too soon will be detrimental in the long run.
