The 21-time grand slam champion missed a large part of last season with the injury and says he is still learning to live and play through the pain. The Spaniard appeared to struggle badly toward the end of his last game on Thursday as he fell to defeat against Denis Shapovalov at the Italian Open."I am a player living with an injury -- it is nothing new. It's something that is there," Nadal told reporters after the match. "Unfortunately, my day-by-day is difficult, honestly.
That's part of my life, and that's the downside of not being able to finish the match earlier. In the short term, I think I am fine, physically speaking, but also, speaking about my feet, it has to adapt to competition."Nadal says he's in pain during practice sessions.Training through 'pain'The 35-year-old staged a remarkable comeback from last year's long injury lay-off to win the Australian Open in January but he says the issue with his foot has been"tough.
