Half a year after the injury was absent, Nadal: When the recovery period did not see the light of day, I thought about saying goodbye

Live Bar January 28, 2019 In the Australian Open semi-finals, Nadal defeated Berrettini 3-1 and reached the final in his first Grand Slam tournament after six months of suspension due to injury, just one step away from the men's tennis world's unprecedented Grand Slam 21 crowns and individual double-lap Grand Slams.

In his post-match press conference, Nadal, 35, spoke about the recovery period: "As I said, I went through a lot of challenging moments. Many days of hard work, but there is no glimmer of light. But I persevered and have always had the unconditional support of my team and family. ”

"I've had a lot of conversations with my team and my family and talked about how if we continue like this (there's no light in sight), maybe it's an opportunity to say goodbye to everyone. And that wasn't many months ago (not so far from now). ”

"To be able to get to where I am today, I really didn't expect, really can't be described in words, I'm full of energy now, very satisfied. I am grateful to have the support of the fans and the people around me. ”

Nadal's opponent in the final is Russian star Medvedev, and the match will start at 16:30 Beijing time on January 30.
