Rafael Nadal hints upcoming French Open may not be his last

Rafael Nadal has revealed this year's French Open may not be his last after all.

The 14-time Roland Garros champion had previously said he expects to retire after the current season.
But Nadal, 37, performed something of a volte-face in Paris on Saturday by not ruling out a return.

The Spaniard said: "In terms if that's going to be my last Roland Garros, it's a long answer, but I think I need to answer that, because we're going to avoid future questions since the beginning - so I'm going to do it.

"As I said, it's a big, big chance that it's going to be my last Roland Garros, but if I have to tell you it's 100% my last Roland Garros, sorry, but I will not, because I cannot predict what's going on. I hope you understand.

"Myself, I have been going through a long process of recovery with a very difficult injury, almost two years of suffering, a recovering process that seems like I feel better now.

"I am not a guy that reacts because I lost there or I lost in the other place, no? I react about my personal feelings, and my personal feelings are better now than one month and a half ago, without a doubt.

"So in some way I don't want to close, 100%, the door, because of a very simple thing.

"First thing, I am enjoying playing tennis. Second thing, I am travelling with the family. They are enjoying and I am enjoying sharing all this process with them.

"And the third thing, I was not able to explore yet the proper way how I will be able to play in more or less healthy conditions, playing without limitation.

"So give me some time. Maybe in one month and a half I say 'OK it's enough, I can't keep going', but today in some way I cannot guarantee that that's going to be the last one. But of course it's a big chance."
