Rafael Nadal uncertainties over playing Davis Cup singles match

Spain’s legendary tennis star Rafael Nadal has revealed that he is unsure of playing the singles match in the Davis Cup. The 38-year-old is regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of men’s tennis in the singles category, having won as many as 22 Grand Slam titles in his illustrious career.

Nadal, who has struggled with fitness concerns, especially in the latter stages of his career and missed six Grand Slams in the last two years, announced earlier this year that he will retire from professional tennis after participating in the upcoming Davis Cup, where he will be representing his country, Spain, in the quarterfinal against the Netherlands. It was reported in the media that the team captain David Ferrer has asked the former world number one to be ready to face Netherlands’ Botic van de Zandschulp in the singles category.

Nadal, who recently participated in the Six Kings Slam event in Saudi Arabia, has talked to the media as per the English media outlet Daily Express, where he revealed that he is trying to be fit for the upcoming event. The legendary tennis star, who is also regarded as the ‘King of Clay’ after winning the Roland Garros 14 times, further went on to state that he would consider skipping the event if he is not fully fit to take part in it.

“Emotionally, I'm sure I'll be ready. Physically and in terms of tennis level, there remains a month left to prepare,” he said while talking about his upcoming singles clash against Van de Zandschulp. “I will try to be in good shape to help the team to win. If I don't feel ready for the singles, I'll be the first one to say. Be 100 per cent sure, I will not be on court if I don't feel ready to win my match.”
