But Nadal has never been known to give up without a fight.

“I can’t keep going like this, but I am working to find a solution”

“It’s obvious that with circumstances that I am playing, I can’t and I don’t want to keep going, so the mindset is very clear. I’m going to keep working to try to find a solution and an improvement for what’s happening in the foot,”
