Boris Becker analyzes Rafa Nadal’s return to competition and his chances for the upcoming tournaments

Boris Becker, winner of six Grand Slam titles and one of the most notable tennis players of the late 80s and early 90s, stopped by Eurosport Germany’s ‘Das Gelbe vom Ball’ podcast to analyze Rafa’s return to competition. Nadal.

In his statements, Becker believes that, despite the fact that Nadal has no training due to the injury, he would not rule him out from fighting for the title in any tournament. “I would never bet against Nadal on a tennis court. He is too strong, he has won too much, he has a lot of experience, he is one of the best tennis players in history and, if he believes that he still has a chance to win important titles and play great tennis, you have to believe him.”

Despite this, Becker prefers to remain cautious and believes that Nadal’s big goals should be Roland Garros and the Paris Olympic Games. “Nadal is not going to Australia with the highest expectations. His goals have to be Roland Garros and the Olympic Games, both in Paris and on clay. But he has to prepare for it and that is achieved by playing games.”

The German also assures that it is possible that Nadal will have to suffer in the months of March and April when it comes to recovering the rhythm of competition, but he is confident that he will do great things on his return. “Nadal will go through a valley of tears, he will have to suffer to improve in March and April and play his best tennis in May. It’s his plan and he’s done it before. Two years ago he also came back from a long injury and no one counted on him. And what happened? He won the tournament. Nothing is impossible for him, as long as he believes that he can win games and tournaments, you have to believe him.”
