Sad news on @RafaelNadal having to pull out of the French. I was sitting court-side when he sustained the injury in OZ & i can’t believe he kept trying to play. Looking back in hindsight might not have been the wisest to keep playing that match? just sucks 2 not have him in Paris
"Might not have been the wisest to keep playing that match": Stubbs believes Nadal Australian Open injury telling in retirement

Rafael Nadal didn't retire immediately after injuring himself at the Australian Open but rather kept playing on it which tennis commentator Stubbs feels might have been unwise.
The Australian former player was there for the event and watched Nadal getting injured. It didn't look good when it happened so many were surprised when Nadal opted to continue on playing. Speaking after the match, Nadal admitted that he didn't want to retire as the defending champion wanting to exit the event proudly but it might have been the wrong choice.
That's what Rennae Stubbs noted when she reacted to Nadal's pull-out from Roland Garros:
"Sad news on Rafael Nadal having to pull out of the
French. I was sitting court-side when he sustained the injury in OZ
& I can't believe he kept trying to play. Looking back in hindsight
might not have been the wisest to keep playing that match? Just sucks
not to have him in Paris."

- Must be okay to do this because WTA apparently could care less. They seem to be even more distant since the Saudi's filled their personal bank accounts. This particular smashing was extreme... and in front of so many little children who (unfortunately in some cases) look up to these players.
mandoist02-05-2024 - Unfortunately the WTA & ITF Fat-Cats are comfortable lounging in their elite surroundings and do not hear anything they do not wish to hear. Not to mention how any compassion, concerns, or sensibility toward the general overall health of players likely went away with their filthy Saudi pocket money.mandoist02-05-2024
