JENNY Rafael Nadal will not be protected with an increased seeding at the French Open, event director Gilbert Ysern said. Roland Garros board member Guy Forget recommended last month that the Spaniard, who has fallen to fifth in the world ranks, must certanly be secured in order to avoid a possible quarter-final clash with world number one Novak Djokovic. "Considering what Nadal presents in Paris, i.e. the best person in the tournament's history, it seemed incongruous that he arrives in Paris with the quantity four or five bib," Ysern told French activities everyday L'Equipe, adding that he backed down as the move wouldn't have already been welcomed. "But it absolutely was said to be fiddling," he said. "What was allowed to be a strong mark, a tribute, was regarded as unpleasant business." Nadal, who missed eight months of tennis because of a leg injury, paths world number four David Ferrer in the ATP ratings and has little possibility of closing the points gap ahead of the French Open begins on May possibly 26. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/tennis-nadal-will-get-higher-seeding-says-french-095727432.html?
