Rafael Nadal on Next Gen players' chances to win French Open
In a press conference at the Monte Carlo Masters Rafael Nadal was asked if he believes that the Next Generation players can win Masters 1000 and Grand Slams on such a tough surface like clay. "Why not? Let's see", said the 32-year-old. "But the problem is, to win a Grand Slam, there is only one event per year on clay. There is only one NextGen player that can win the Grand Slam, and there are no NextGen players that they want to win, too. Let's see. Of course, they have a great level, and they are in a position that they can win anything because young players always have this extra energy. It always is difficult to win for everybody: for the NextGen, for the OldGen, for the MiddleGen. For everybody is difficult to win important things, no? Let's see. It's the work of every day, and we gonna know the answer in a couple of months or one month and something. But today, what really matters is Monte-Carlo, no? Let's see which "Gen" wins the tournament."
On the Monte Carlo court conditions, Nadal added: "It's perfect. The court always here is great. Especially when we have this weather is just fantastic, no? No wind. Great feelings to play tennis. The ball is bouncing, so it was great conditions to play tennis."
