Rafael Nadal is still not sure if he is going to play at the French Open in June, saying he is sometimes only able to play at '40 per cent' at the moment. Nadal, a 14-time champion at Roland Garros, couldn't learn much from his comfortable straight-sets win over American teenager Darwin Blanch in the first round of the Madrid Open, cruising to a 6-1 6-0 victory over the mistake-prone 16-year-old on Thursday. 'I didn't test much my body today,' the 37-year-old Nadal said.
That's why I was able to achieve so many records in terms of holding my ranking in a very high position for such a long time and to be competitive. 'Today is a different story. I mean I never had this super long period of time without playing, and important surgeries. I've never had almost 38 , I was in a different age. And I'm trying as always and let's see. I am not negative, I'm just realistic. I am here to try to explore what can happen in the next couple of weeks.
