Rafael Nadal (37) returns to the tennis court! The Spaniard had to take a break for almost a year due to a hip injury, but now the tennis star has announced his return. At a press event in Barcelona, Nadal reveals that he was recently seen by his regular doctor, Dr. Angel Ruiz Cotorro was examined and now really believes he will play again.
At this time he cannot say anything more specific and cannot predict which tournament he will participate in and at what level he will return. “A few weeks ago I couldn’t say whether I would come back at all. The last steps forward have been positive,” he said, pleased with his development in Barcelona.
He has never lost sight of his comeback. However, Nadal immediately tempers the expectations placed on him: “I haven’t played in a year. It will be difficult to reach a very high level again.” But he believes he needs to become competitive again. “I have worked hard for this in recent months and have done everything I can to get in shape,” said Nadal.
Rafael Nadal is currently keeping himself fit in his own training, where he recently hit balls powerfully again. Since the 37-year-old injured his left hip flexor at the Australian Open in January this year, he has not competed in a serious fight. The operation followed in June. In an interview after the operation, Nadal announced that he might end his professional career in 2024. He said at the time that he did not have high expectations of winning another Grand Slam tournament.
Even now, the 22-time Grand Slam winner is not really optimistic: “I will not win more Grand Slam tournaments than Novak Djokovic (24 Grand Slam titles, editor’s note), but I will make it possible to do so. to enjoy again.” He is happy that he can now train again. “This is a good time in my life right now. “A step forward, there is no doubt about it, and that alone means a lot,” Nadal said.
In Barcelona, Nadal continued to cite participation in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris as his dream. There he was able to form a double for Spain with Carlos Alcaraz (20). Until then, there is still a lot of work waiting for the former world number 1. (mbi)
