Roger Federer: Brutal If Rafael Nadal Absent at French Open

– One of the world’s most successful male tennis players, Roger Federer, revealed that the world of tennis would be dealt a severe blow if Rafael Nadal was absent in the Grand Slam tournament, the French Open.

Roger Federer, one of the great legends of tennis and whose good relationship with Rafa Nadal is known to everyone, spoke about the Spaniard’s absence in the last Masters Series and did not hide his concern for the next Grand Slam, Roland Garros.

“It would be brutal, it would be difficult for tennis if Rafa wasn’t there,” Federer told reporters Sky Sports.

“I still hope so (he plays). I saw him pull out of Rome so I wish him all the best.”

The retired Swiss tennis player was looking forward to seeing his former rival and friend at his favorite tournament and also said he enjoyed Novak Djokovic’s presence at the event.

“Obviously Novak hasn’t played much so I hope he will be strong too and then all the young players will come too,” he added.

Nadal’s presence at the Grand Slam in Paris has until now been highly doubtful. It has been 107 days since the Spaniard played an official match, when she lost in the second round of the Australian Open to Mackenzie McDonald.

Since then, Nadal has missed up to eight tournaments on the ATP calendar: Doha, Dubai, Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Godó, Mutua Madrid Open and now Rome.

This means that if he arrives at Roland Garros, he will do so without any training and as the fifteenth seed, meaning in the last 16 he will clash with one of the top four players in the world rankings.
