10 days before the start of Roland-Garros, a wave of uncertainty surrounds the health of Rafael Nadal.
10 times titled at the Masters 1000 in Rome, the Spaniard, visibly injured, was eliminated in the round of 16 by Denis Shapovalov (16th in the world) in three sets (1-6, 7-5, 6-2).
In the quarter-finals, the Canadian will face the Norwegian Casper Ruud (10th).
After clearly dominating the first round, Nadal (4th) gradually dropped in level until he clearly had great difficulty moving.
The Majorcan suffers from a chronic foot injury which forced him to end his season last year in August.
He only returned to competition in January to win the Australian Open and bring the record for Grand Slam titles to 21.
