JENNY Rafael Nadal won't be secured with a higher seeding at the French Open, contest manager Gilbert Ysern said. Roland Garros board member Guy Forget suggested last month that the Spaniard, who has slipped to fifth in the world ranks, should really be secured in order to avoid a potential quarter-final conflict with world number 1 Novak Djokovic. "Considering what Nadal presents in Paris, i.e. the best player in the tournament's background, it seemed incongruous that he arrives in Paris with the amount four to five bib," Ysern told French activities daily L'Equipe, adding that he backed down since the shift would not have been welcomed. "But it had been said to be fiddling," he said. "What was supposed to be a solid symbol, a tribute, was seen as messy business." Nadal, who missed seven months of football as a result of leg injury, tracks world number four David Ferrer in the ATP ratings and has little possibility of prior to the French Open starts on Might 26 closing the points gap. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/tennis-nadal-will-get-higher-seeding-says-french-095727432.html?
