World number one Rafael Nadal revealed that he still deals with pain in his left knee regularly. The Spaniard has made a remarkable comeback since February where he won a total of 10 titles including 2 Grand Slam titles and five ATP Masters 1000 tournaments. He went on to reclaim the top ranking after reaching the final of China Open on Sunday.
“Since I came back, the feeling on the knee is not 100 percent perfect. But the feeling on the knee is very good for me because even if I have pain a lot of days, the pain is not limiting my movements,” he said.
“I am playing with no limitations. I am free when I am playing.”
Nadal is currently competing at the Shanghai Rolex Masters where he’s slated to compete with Alexandr Dolgopolov of Ukraine in the second round.
