“I need to take things a little bit easier” - Rafael Nadal on returning from an injury break
Returning to action for the first time since pulling out of his semifinal match at the Wimbledon Championships, Rafael Nadal said he had a small tear in the abdomen and needed to take things “a little bit easier.”
The Spaniard was quick to add that he was making a conscious effort to be slightly more “conservative” with his approach towards tennis and needed a few days to analyze his injury.
Nadal said that while things were going well for him at the moment, the injury was still a “dangerous” one, adding that he was excited to continue his good season in Cincinnati.
