Rafael Nadal has hinted that his quarter-final against Djokovic could be the last of his career at Roland-Garros.


It may be my last match at Roland-Garros

” and “

I would like to play it during the day

”, Rafael Nadal said on Sunday evening of his top quarter-final against world No.1 Novak Djokovic scheduled tuesday.

I prefer to play by day, I know Roland-Garros by day, and it's also true that I'm aware that I don't know what can happen next year.

Every time I play here I am aware that it may be my last match in this tournament.

In a year, a lot happens, and at this stage of my life and my career, with everything I have, anything can happen

,” explained the Spaniard, who turns 36 on Friday.

His foot injury, a real obstacle

I hope that won't be the case, that I can continue to come for many years, but I'm also very aware that it's a possibility, if things don't go my way, that this will be my last match here at Roland-Garros.

That's why I would like to play it during the day

, ”continued the Mallorcan, thirteen times winner on Parisian clay.

I am in the quarter-finals of Roland-Garros.

Two and a half weeks ago, although I was hopeful, I didn't even know if I would be able to be here.

So I'm enjoying being here another year.

And honestly, every game I play here, I don't know if it's not my last game at Roland-Garros

,” he also said.

I again went through a difficult period with my foot (left, from which it has suffered for more than fifteen years, editor's note), so I don't know what can happen in the near future with regard to my career.

That's why I just try to enjoy as much as possible and fight as much as I can to keep living my dream

,” Nadal concluded.
