Video: Toni Nadal speaks to Sky NewS ''Toni Nadal: Rafa Will Be Back''
Rafael Nadal's coach, Toni Nadal, says his nephew will return to play at Wimbledon in the future.
The reigning French Open champion suffered a shock defeat to Belgium's Steve Darcis in the opening round of this year's championships.
During the first-round encounter, the world number five appeared to suffer from a recurrence of a long-standing knee injury - prompting speculation over his grass court future.
His long-standing coach "Uncle Toni", however, insists the two-times Wimbledon champion will be back to compete at the All England Club.
"We love so much to play here, " he said
"I hope next year he will play so much better because this tournament is very special - it was (the scene of) one of Rafael’s greatest wins in 2008.
"For us, playing Wimbledon is always in our minds."
Toni Nadal added that no decision had been made over when Rafa would return to action.
"I don't know exactly - maybe we can play on clay a little, or we can go to the United States. I don't know."
