“I think Nadal is ready to play,” assures Ferrer

The end is approaching. Rafael Nadal took part in the exhibition in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in mid-October. The future retiree was beaten by Carlos Alcaraz 6-3, 6-3, then by Novak Djokovic 6-2, 7-6. His last professional appearance will take place in the final phase of the Davis Cup, in Malaga (November 19-24).

David Ferrer, the captain of the Spanish team, gave news of his prestigious player in Marca: “I have great confidence in Rafa because I have lived with him throughout my career and I know how honest he is when he feels ready to compete or not. After talking to him, I think he's ready to play. He's training. I spoke to Rafa on Wednesday, I am also in constant contact with his coach Carlos Moya and his agent Carlos Costa. They inform me day after day. I will make a decision in Malaga, when I see how he trains. But the same will go for the other players. If Nadal trains at a good level and is in good physical health he is an alternative, of course he is. »
