Pablo Carrenonumber 71 in the ranking at 34 years old, He will face Rafa Jódar this Wednesday in the second round of Wimbledon. The Asturian recognizes that the land has nothing to do with the grass surface.
“This track is totally different. In Paris I fell far behind and here it is not the solution. Rafa has not played matches on grass and I will have to see the match he played today to draw conclusions“he warns.
Carreño is aware that “On land I can do more damage than on grass because I feel more comfortable. I don’t know in your case what it will be like. It’s true that my backhand is flat and it doesn’t do badly on this surface,” he warns.
Pablo had to stop after his loss to Jódar at the French Open to treat his right shoulder. That is why he could not play any previous tournaments on grass: “We checked the shoulder injury and it was still not something serious. But I needed to stop because the area was loaded. The decision not to play on grass is because I am almost 35 years old and after London I will play two tournaments on clay before the American tour. Grass is not what I like the most.“”.
