“At the end of the day, I need to look out for my health, that I'm happy in all parts of my life, personal, private, on-court life, professional life, and I can't keep this pace up on every single day. Just too much and I'll run out. The desire will run out.
“I would rather take a step back and then really come back with a lot of energy and happiness. Then I can share that with everybody. Otherwise you'll see me here and you will see that all I want to do is get out of here. I don't want to be that guy. I really don't.”
W He skipped clay coz hez not young anymore hez 35.... Most probably ur nadal ll retire by tat age.... Not playing clay also coz his body can't support.... And don't rule out fed in French also.... After this kind of year he had he can win tat also.... Its just matter of being his day on strong opponents... Anyways he go deep in French
Ha ha .If he thinks in that way he would have skipped both the Indian Wells and Miami. Both are slow courts. Why didn't Nadal beat Federer there? And he would have skipped the RG too. You need a bit of perspicacity here. If you have it, u would not have ruled out Fed's chances at FO. So, whatever your predictions are it has gone awry so far. So, I suggest you not to say Nadal will win. Otherwise by hindsight he may lose. So, beware Mr.jeet.
It's because his main objective to win is at Wimbledon not at French open. Nevertheless he will be playing at RG. Don't euleout his chances at RG. Who knows? He may win it.
He has already entrenched himself as the greatest. He can pick and choose players unlike others. He has the discretion. Awaiting the euphoria at Wimbledon. Common Roger!!

Long live Federer!!!!
