Rafael Nadal’s ‘biggest enemy’ has been outlined as he builds towards the defence of his French Open title, and it isn’t Novak Djokovic. The Spaniard won Grand Slam titles at the Australian Open and Roland Garros last year, but the remainder of his campaign was plagued by injury.
“I think the last thing that would ever go away from Rafael Nadal’s game is his actual game,” said Wilander, himself a winner of seven Grand Slam titles, and three in Paris. “I think hitting the ball, he’s getting better, he’s getting more creative.
“But in terms of the physical part of moving, I think, yes, he’s going to get slower because he’s not able to train as much all the time and he’s getting older. So there comes a point when there’s a limit to how much you can do with a tennis ball without being able to move around at close to 100%. And I think that’s going to be his biggest enemy.”
