Rafael Nadal is a poet in favor of the continuation of top tennis in the near future under "normal conditions" due to the new coronavirus pandemic.
"I am very pessimistic about the possibility that we will be able to continue tennis tournaments normally," said the current number two tennis player in the world.
Nadal won the Grand Slam tournaments nineteen times, a record twelve times at Roland Garros.
"In tennis you have to travel every week, stay in different hotels, travel to different countries. Even if the tournaments are played without spectators in the stands, the organization of the tournament requires the participation of many people. I see a serious international professional problem at the highest level," said Nadal.
World tennis has been completely paralyzed since the beginning of March, and all tournaments have been suspended. The season was further disrupted by the decision of Roland Garros organizers to move the tournament to September due to the coronavirus pandemic, and the cancellation of Wimbledon.
In this crisis, Nadal decided to participate in the humanitarian field and joined Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer in the initiative to establish a fund to help lower-ranked players who found themselves in difficulties due to the interruption of the tennis season.
