MADRID: Rafael Nadal said he intends to play Wimbledon after having treatment for his chronic foot problem.
The 22-time Grand Slam champion had said he would not keep playing if he continued to need anaesthetic injections in his left foot.
However, the Spaniard had treatment last week to reduce nerve pain and is planning to play Wimbledon, which begins on 27 June.
“The last week of training tells me there is a chance,” said Nadal. “My intention is to play at Wimbledon.”
He said he would travel to London on Monday and play in the exhibition event at Hurlingham, which begins on Tuesday.
The two-time Wimbledon champion has been practising on the grass courts in Mallorca to test his fitness.
“I’m happy, I haven’t been limping for a week,” Nadal said.
