Rafael Nadal says he will only play at the French Open next month if he feels “capable enough to compete”.

The 14-time champion at Roland Garros, missed the French Open for the first time in 19 years through injury in 2023.

The 37-year-old Spaniard has already indicated he plans to retire after the 2024 season, and will make a farewell appearance at the Madrid Open this week, where he faces American 16-year-old Darwin Blanch in the first round on Thursday.
