Nadal On "Right Track", Targets Toronto Return
Nadal to start on-court training in two weeks
Rafael Nadal is expected to return to ATP World Tour action at the Rogers Cup in Toronto next month, according to a progress report given by coach Toni Nadal on Thursday in Mallorca.
“Rafa is doing well,” he said. “The Federation doctor has said that everything is progressing as it should, in the time frame we expected. Now he has to start strengthening his wrist and his arm a little bit, and in two weeks we will start training step by step, working a little bit harder each day. The doctor said everything is on the right track.”
The 30-year-old Spaniard has been sidelined with a left-wrist injury, which forced him to withdraw from Roland Garros prior to his third-round match. Nadal announced last week that he would also miss Wimbledon.
“The plan is to play Toronto if everything goes well,” said Toni Nadal.
Nadal has a 29-8 record this season, highlighted by titles at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters and Barcelona Open BancSabadell.
