Rafael Nadal trained on grass for the first time on Monday morning, with a light session in Mallorca raising hopes he could overcome his foot injury to play at Wimbledon.
Rafael Nadal has started testing his foot out on the grass before making a decision about Wimbledon. The world No 4 admitted he used anaesthetic injections to numb the pain caused by his chronic foot injury during his run to the French Open title and has since undergone a radiofrequency treatment to try and recreate the effect, previously confirming he would only play at Wimbledon if the treatment was successful.
French Open champion Rafael Nadal is reportedly already in training on grass in preparation for a possible crack at Wimbledon. 36-year-old Nadal, who won his 14th French Open title at Roland-Garros recently, was a doubt to play in Wimbledon due to an on-going leg condition, Müller-Weiss syndrome. Ad/> Nadal has begun to speak more openly about the condition and hadn't given any commitment to being able to play at Wimbledon, with the second and third Grand Slams of the year having the shortest gap between them.

PARIS: Daniil Medvedev returned to the top of the ATP rankings on Monday, ahead of Alexander Zverev, with Novak Djokovic slipping out of the top two for the first time in nearly four years. The 26-year-old Russian, who was surprisingly beaten by Tim van Rijthoven in the final at ‘s-Hertogenbosch on Sunday, briefly occupied the number one spot for two weeks at the end of February and the beginning of March. But with Djokovic losing in the quarter-finals at the French Open, where he was defending champion, the door opened for Medvedev to rise again to top spot.
He came up short in the Stuttgart Open final while there are also question marks over his fitness, but Andy Murray has plenty of reason to smile after his excellent run at the ATP 250 event.
