Newly reinstated world number one Rafael Nadal said that he doesn’t want to be involved in tennis politics at this points, stressing that there’s always a “wall” whenever he pitches in his ideas. The Spaniard has been advocating a shorter tournament schedule and additional claycourt events on tour.
“I am really out of politics, and I don’t want to be involved in politics of the tennis anymore. I know even if you have strong ideas and even if you believe the changes are possible, I know there is always a wall there that is impossible to go over,” he said.
“I say because it’s something that I think is going to be fair for the next generations if they are able to play (on) an easier surface for the body, to try to have a longer career, to try to be more healthy when they finish (their) careers,” he said, referring to claycourt events.
“Something that probably I will not (be lucky enough to have),” he added.
