PARIS — Rafael Nadal said Saturday that he is likely appearing at the French Open for the final time but cautioned it was 'not 100%' certain, describing the tournament where he has been champion 14 times as a 'magical place.''It's a big, big chance that this is going to be my last Roland Garros, but if I have to tell you it's 100% my last Roland Garros, sorry, but I will not, because I cannot predict what's going on. I hope you understand,' said the Spaniard.
Maybe in one month and a half I say, okay, it's enough, I can't keep going, but today in some way I cannot guarantee that that's going to be the last one. But of course it's a big chance.'Nadal arrives in Paris having yet to make a clay-court quarter-final this season. In Rome, he was defeated in the second round.'I feel competitive in training. Maybe not in an official match, but when I enter the court, I feel like I can beat anyone,' he said.
