Nadal Begins Regrouping After Wimbledon Loss
Rafael Nadal has begun regrouping after his surprise Wimbledon first-round exit to Steve Darcis, with the Spaniard trying to damp down some of the drama. “Life continues, that’s all, it’s not a dramatic thing,” said the fifth seed. “That’s the sport. That’s the game at the end.”
While refusing to talk about any problems with the left knee which forced him out for seven months a year ago, Nadal tried to look on the positive side after winning seven titles from nine finals since his February comeback.
“Two weeks ago I was in a fantastic situation, winning a fantastic tournament, “said the eight-time French Open champion. “Two weeks later I lost here in the first round. That’s the positive and the negative thing about this sport. It’s tough, but the tour continues, life continues. This is a sport of victories, it’s not a sport of lose.
Nobody remember the loses, people remember the victories. And I don’t want to remember (this one).”
Nadal left his immediate future vague, with his next event not scheduled until early August at the Montreal Masters. “The only thing I can say I can do is keep working hard and keep giving me chances about my game on this surface.
“I think and I hope to have a few more years to play here and to play at the right level. I was not able to play great this year or last year. It’s obviously. But I’m gonna try.”
