LONDON — Rafael Nadal on Saturday said the procedure he had on his chronic foot injury after Roland Garros has meant he is largely pain-free, but he is unsure how long the treatment will be effective.
The tennis world has made the transition from France to England, from Paris to London, and — perhaps, most importantly — from clay to grass.
Rafael Nadal said Saturday that for the first time in 18 months he has defeated the crippling foot pain which threatened to push him to the brink of retirement. Nadal captured his 14th French Open and record-extending 22nd major earlier this month to put himself halfway to the first men's calendar Grand Slam since 1969. However, in the aftermath of his Paris victory, he revealed that he had needed to have his left foot anaesthetised to keep competing.

Rafael Nadal's foot is not causing him any problems ahead of his first appearance at Wimbledon in three years, says the Majorcan's coach Marc Lopez. Nadal memorably won the French Open earlier this month but revealed afterwards that his foot had been anaesthetised due to the pain he was experiencing as a result of his chronic condition, Mueller-Weiss syndrome. Ad/> The announcement that Nadal was going to have minor surgery on his foot following Roland-Garros in a bid to relieve the pain threw his participation at SW19 into some doubt, but the 35-year-old looked in fine touch when beating Stan Wawrinka at the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic on Wednesday, with Lopez confirming his charge's progress.
