'Is Djokovic vs Nadal at Wimbledon too much to ask for?' - Tennis fans react to Toni Nadal suggesting that Rafael Nadal will be at Wimbledon this year 

Rafael Nadal won his 22nd Grand Slam at the French Open earlier this month, despite suffering from a foot injury. It was later revealed that the Spaniard had to take numerous injections on his foot throughout the tournament to stay competitive.

With the Wimbledon Championships just around the corner, Nadal made it clear that he wouldn't continue taking injections to participate in tournaments. That in turn cast doubt on the 22-time Grand Slam champion's participation at SW19.

However, his uncle and former coach Toni Nadal recently suggested that his nephew would participate in the third Slam of the year. Toni believes the two-time Wimbledon champion is on course to recover from the foot problem in time.

Subsequently, tennis fans flooded Twitter to react to the news, with some salivating at the potential matchup between the Spaniard and Novak Djokovic.

"Is Djokovic Nadal at Wimbledon too much to ask for?", one fan wrote.

With Djokovic currently leading head-to-head with one more win, some fans believe it would be poetic if Nadal beat Djokovic at Wimbledon and leveled the record.

"Nadal beating Djokovic in the final and evening the all time record to 30-30 would be awesome. 3/4 of the way to the calendar slam," one user tweeted.

However, they is also a set of fans who weren't quite sold on the idea of Nadal playing at SW19 this year. They believe that going from clay to grass without a warmup tournament might be detrimental to the 22-time Grand Slam champion.

"And playing with no warm up too on a tentative foot. He's trying to participate bcos of his ao ,rg victory and top players absence. He would have skipped it otherwise," another fan wrote.

"It's the million-dollar question" - Francisco Roig on Rafael Nadal's Wimbledon participation

Day Eleven: The Championships - Wimbledon 2019

Troubled by injuries this year, Rafael Nadal had an air of uncertainty about him heading into the French Open. But he put to rest any doubts by winning the tournament, beating the likes of Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev en route.

Nevertheless, questions persist going into Wimbledon. And Francisco Roig, a former tennis player who is now part of Rafael Nadal's coaching staff, spoke about the Mallorcan's situation in an interview with Noticias.

"It's the million-dollar question and hopefully it will last many more seasons, but age is age," Roig said.

Rafael Nadal has won the grasscourt Slam twice, in 2008 and 2010. Despite the tournament not carrying any points this year, Nadal will be keen to add another Major to his tally and pull away from Djokovic and Roger Federer in the Slam race.
