DIARIODEMALLORCA.ES / EFE.PALMA tennis player Rafael Nadal said today that the "feelings" about his left knee injury which forced him to leave in the middle of the 1000 Masters tournament in Miami, are "right and good", although the time has been "fair" with the preparation of the next tournament in Monte Carlo.

At an official act in his hometown of Manacor, the tennis player said he had practiced on court this morning for the first time since his injury in Miami a fortnight ago.

"It's all about doing a bit more each day," said Nadal, who admitted he will have little time for on court practice before his first match in Monte Carlo next Wednesday.

Nadal was categorical about his chances of winning the Monte Carlo Masters 1000: "Right now my options are for practicing tomorrow; at the moment, winning or not depends on many things, such as if I'm physically fit and on my technical level," as well as the state of his knee.

"All I can do is work as well and as hard as I can and hope things turn out well," he added.
