Toni Nadal, Rafael Nadal’s uncle who frequently updates the media about his nephew, said that Rafael Nadal will make his comeback during the 2024 Australian Open.
The former Nadal’s coach is quite involved with the media and frequently gives brief updates about his nephew. Toni Nadal recently discussed his nephew’s statement in an interview that his recovery is progressing very well.
That’s fantastic news for the fans who were heartbroken to watch Nadal miss an entire year due to the hip injury he sustained at the Australian Open this year. Rafael will return to that venue, according to Toni Nadal, in the next year.
If Nadal’s recovery goes well and he returns to the game competitively, his uncle hinted earlier this year that he would even consider playing after 2024.
Rafael Nadal’s visit to the Barcelona Clinic, where he underwent surgery months ago, for a routine medical checkup is the most recent development regarding his comeback.
Toni Nadal confirms that Rafael Nadal could return for the next Grand Slam, in Melbourne!
"Rafa is doing well, he is recovering. If all goes fine, he wants to come back on courts for the 2024 Australian Open."
We can't wait!🤞
