"The sensations haven't been perfect this week," Nadal said before facing the 16-year-old wildcard Darwin Blanch on Thursday.
"If it wasn't Madrid, maybe I wouldn't play ... I'll keep fighting and doing the things that I think I need to do to play in Paris." The 37-year-old Nadal has said this is likely to be his final year on tour.
