Rafael Nadal has expressed his intentions of playing at this year’s Wimbledon after having treatment on his foot problem.
The 22-time Grand Slam champion had said he would not keep playing if he continued to need anaesthetic injections in his left foot.
However, the Spaniard had treatment last week to reduce nerve pain and is planning to play Wimbledon, which begins on 27 June.
