Nadal was eliminated by the 13th seeded Italian Fabio Fognini 6-4 7-6 after an erratic performance.
The world number four says he'll do whatever it takes to be ready to bid for a record-extending 10th French Open crown starting at the end of next month.
"My challenge is to be back playing at my best level again and I will work until that happens," he said.
"I have the conviction that that will happen and I will work until I will be back to my best so let's wait for awhile."
