 Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name's Cam Williams and Rafa Nadal is playing Wimbledon. He is confirmed in an interview only a couple of hours ago that he is actually playing Wimbledon this year. Let's go read the statement that Rafa read out in the press conference. So in the press conference this is what Rafa had to say. I'm happy I haven't been limping for a week. I have noticed changes with the treatment still have strange sensations. Sometimes I can't feel my foot but the pain that did not allow me to support my weight on my foot has subsided. My intention is to play Wimbledon but it will all depend on what happens with my body this week. I'm without pain for a week and have been practicing so it tells me there may be a chance to play that in the tournament. I haven't played on grass for three years and I have to adapt. Every day I have been recovering sensations and feeling better. I have a week left before playing and I have to test myself little by little. Advancing in the first round is crucial. If you advance you pick up pace to reach the end. You have to survive no matter what. So there you have it. Rafa Nadal confirming that he will be playing Wimbledon if everything goes right in the next week. Now Wimbledon doesn't start until next Monday so there is a lot of time between now and then. Hopefully Rafa is feeling okay. He looks good on the practice score though. There's been a lot of footage out there going around on Twitter of him practicing in Mallorca. Getting the foot right. Getting some practice under his belt on the grass. It's good news though. Rafa going for the calendar slam. He is trying his best to play Wimbledon and he'll be there as long as nothing happens over the next week. He also announced that he's being a father but we already knew that from a couple of days ago. But let me know down in the comments below how far can Rafa go now that he's playing, now that he's confirmed if he just make it through the next week. How far is he going to go? Is he going to win the whole thing? Is he going to be able to make it to the second week based on not playing any warm up tournaments? Let me know down in the comments below. But Rafa he will be playing and attempting to go for the calendar slam this year.
