Rafael Nadal provides key injury update ahead of French Open with Spaniard set to play back-to-back clay-court events
Rafael Nadal has provided a key update on his hip injury ahead of the French Open with the Spaniard set to play back-to-back clay-court events.
Nadal, who missed almost the entire 2023 season due to injury, picked up his latest problem at the Brisbane International in January and planned to make a return at the Qatar Open in February but was not fit enough to compete.
The 37-year-old then targeted a comeback at Indian Wells in March but once again pulled out due to injury issues, leading to speculation over his retirement.
Nadal has already confirmed that 2024 is likely to be his final year in tennis before he joins fellow great Roger Federer in hanging up his racket.
