French Open: Rafael Nadal won't play Wimbledon if he needs foot injections

If he keeps getting injections to numb his foot pain, Nadal doesn't want to continue playing.

He had no feeling in his left foot and won his record 14th title.

The Spaniard won a 22nd Grand Slam title on Sunday.

"With the circumstances that I am playing, I can't and I don't want to continue," said Nadal.

The two-time Wimbledon champion says he won't play at the All England Club if a nerve burning treatment can't be solved.

At the Italian Open, Nadal was limping because of a rare condition that affects bones in the feet.

"I have been playing with injections on the nerves to numb the foot and that's why I was able to play during these two weeks."

I don't have feelings in my foot because my doctor was able to inject anesthesia. That makes me feel better on my foot.

If my body is ready to play in Wimbledon, I'll be there. This is it. Wimbledon isn't a tournament that I would like to miss. Everyone wants to attend Wimbledon. I'm a big fan of Wimbledon.

I don't want to put myself in that situation again if I can play with anti-inflammatories.

If the treatment for long-term pain, which uses heat on the nerve, doesn't work, Nadal will have to have surgery.

I'm going to keep going if that works. It will be another story if that doesn't work.

I'll have to ask myself if I'm ready to do a major surgery that won't guarantee me to be competitive again and could take a long time to recover from.

Injections 'only chance' to let Nadal play in Paris

Nadal missed Wimbledon and the US Open last year to deal with the problem and feared his career was over because of it.

After his 21st major win at the Australian Open, he missed two months of the season because of a rib injury.

Nadal said that his preparation was not ideal.

It's not a coincidence thatRoland Garros isRoland Garros. Everybody knows how important this tournament is to me, so I wanted to give myself a chance to win.

It was the only way for me to get a chance here. I did it.

Speaking on the court, Nadal said he didn't think he'd still be competing at the highest level at his age.

He said he never thought he would be playing in a final at 36.

I'm not sure what's going to happen in the future, but I'm going to keep fighting.

'What Nadal has achieved is super human'

The last time Nadal won back-to-back major titles was in 2010 when he won the French Open, Wimbledon and US Open in a row.

Greg Rusedski, a former British number one, was an analyst for the final of the French Open.

If you won a Slam over 30 it was a great achievement in my generation. It seems like it's the norm now because of Nadal and others.

When Nadal won his first Grand Slam title in 2005, most of us thought he'd be done playing tennis by the age of 27 or 28.

We didn't think he'd be able to accomplish what he's done. Super human is what he has accomplished.

Nobody will ever be able to achieve what he has done on a clay court. It isn't doable.

Ivan Ljubicic, a former player, thinks the stadium should be renamed after Nadal.

Real Madrid, a Spanish football club that Nadal supports, recognised his achievements as well.
