 Alright, so with Rome just around the corner, we have a big withdrawal. Rafa Nadal pulling out of Rome. He hasn't played a clay court match all year and he'll be going to the French Open potentially with no matches as a warm-up. This is what he had to say over on Twitter. Let's go have a look. This is what he had to say over on Twitter literally minutes ago. Hello everyone. I'm very sorry to announce that I will not be able to be in Rome. You all know how much it hurts me to miss another one of the tournaments that have marked my professional and personal career for all the love and support. Despite having noticed an improvement in recent days, there have been many months without having been able to train at a high level and the re-adaptation process has its times and I have no choice but to accept them and continue working a hug to you all. There it is, Rafa Nadal not playing in Rome and by the sounds of that, he's not going to play the French Open. There's no chance now. Surely he can't play the French Open, not playing a match beforehand, not practicing a five-set match on clay. One of the hardest things to do in professional tennis. It's very doubtful that he's going to be playing the French Open at this rate but let me know if you're watching this video later, if you're watching this right now, what do you reckon? Is Rafa going to play the French Open having not played a match since the Australian Open or is he going to reset for Wimbledon? Does he reckon he's going to have a real crack at getting another Wimbledon? Because of course, that's a tournament that's kind of eluded him in the last decade. You know, he's won a lot of French Opens, won the Australian Open, a lot of US Opens as well. The Wimbledon title, can he go for one more Wimbledon? Maybe it's his best chance to lock and load for that but he's not playing in Rome next week. Rafa, he's pulled out of all the clay court events into the French Open. Will he play the French Open? That's coming up in a couple of weeks time.
