Nadal performed some physical exercises during a short training session out of sight at the Mallorca Country Club in Santa Ponca, where the Mallorca ATP 250 grass tournament will take place from Sunday, his spokesperson told the AFP.
The Spaniard plans to gradually increase the intensity of his training on the Spanish turf over the week.
Depending on the condition of his left foot, which has been disturbing him recurrently for several years, he will then decide whether to participate in the London Grand Slam tournament, which begins on June 27.
Nadal has suffered for years from Müller-Weiss syndrome, a degenerative and incurable disease which is characterized by the deformation of one of the bones of the foot.
The player with 22 Grand Slam titles has revealed he had to play Roland-Garros with an anesthetized foot, but was not ready to repeat the experience at Wimbledon, a tournament he won twice , in 2008 and 2010, and in which he did not participate in 2021.
He started last Tuesday, two days after his triumph at Roland-Garros, a "pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment" which numbs "the nerves in the region of the injury from which he suffers", in the words of his spokesperson. .
This new treatment seems to be bearing fruit, so much so that Toni Nadal, the uncle of "Rafa" and his former coach, said on Saturday on the sidelines of the Stuttgart tournament that his nephew "was going to play at Wimbledon".
