Rafael Nadal lost to Alexander Zverev in the first match of the Andre Agassi Group 6-2 and 6-4 and now he spoke about how he felt.
Many were unsure about Nadal's physical condition as he struggled with an injury ahead of the
ATP Finals. Although he was not at his best against Zverev, later he said that he was feeling no pain during the match. Therefore, Nadal should continue at the ATP Finals. After the match he said:
“No complaint about the physical condition. No pain in abdominal. That's the only positive thing, honestly. That's all. Happy the way that [the] abdominal [felt], and hopefully I can continue like this, because it's true that I was not able to create a lot of practice and a lot of effort on that part of the body since last Saturday,” Nadal said.
“I stay positive. I stay competitive, something that today I was not,” Nadal said. “That's the thing that I am more disappointed [with], because knowing that I will not be at my 100 per cent in terms of feelings, in terms of movement, in terms of confidence or hitting the ball, I needed my best competitive spirit this afternoon, and I was not there in that way."
