Rafael Nadal reveals mental health struggles as injury delays retirement

Rafael Nadal admits he is struggling with his mental health as his abdominal injury continues to derail his plans for a farewell tour before retirement.

The Spanish tennis legend, who turns 38 in June, has spoken openly about hanging up his racket and 2024 was set to be his final season in the sport.

Nadal has massively struggled to keep fit, though, and has been unable to feature in a competitive match since the Brisbane International back in January.

The 22-time Grand Slam champion, one of the best and most loved tennis players of all time, will be desperate to play the French Open one last time in May.
