Rafael Nadal says he is 'living with an injury' after foot issue in defeat to Denis Shapovalov at Italian Open
Rafael Nadal appeared badly hampered by a foot injury as he was beaten in three sets by Denis Shapovalov in the last 16 of the Italian Open. Nadal cruised through the first set, but was limping and grimacing by the end of the match as Shapovalov fought back to win 1-6 7-5 6-2. Ad/> It is Nadal’s earliest exit in Rome since 2008 and raises questions about his fitness ahead of the French Open, which starts on May 22.
