'Everything is positive at the moment', says Rafael Nadal's coach Marc Lopez ahead of Wimbledon

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.
