The 37-year-old Spanish superstar said while Brisbane and the Australian Open, which starts on January 14th, is probably his farewell to Australia, he left the door open to continuing to compete if his body cooperates.
“It’s obvious that it’s a high percentage that’s going to be my last time playing here in Australia,” Nadal said. “But if I am here next year, don’t tell me, You said going to be your last season, because I didn’t say it (smiling). I just say have been an important percentage.
“You never know what’s going on, you know? I can’t predict how I going to be in the next six months. I can’t predict if my body will allow me to enjoy tennis as much as I enjoyed the past 20 years. I don’t know if my body will allow me to be competitive…
“You never know what’s my approach because at the end I went through a lot to be back on a tennis court. It’s not an easy decision, but I know inside myself that is a high percentage it’s going to be my last one.”
