Rafael Nadal’s coach Carlos Moya thinks, the Spaniard is ready to put his recent injury issues behind him.
The 19-time Grand Slam winner takes on Adrian Mannarino as he launches his assault on the year-end world No 1.
“Two seasons ago, Rafa had to retire in the quarter-finals [due to a knee injury] and he only participated because the year-end No 1 spot was at stake.,” Moya told the ATP.
“Last year when he played here, he had to have [ankle] surgery the following week. His physical conditioning going into this event hasn't been in our favour.
“This year is different. He's coming into the event well-conditioned. We'll see how things play out and if his health holds up this week and in London [for the ATP finals].”
