In preparation for his expected return from injury next year, Rafael Nadal’s supporters went into a state of excitement when a video of him practicing appeared on social media. Due to injuries, the 22-time Grand Slam champion has been absent since the Australian Open in January. This led to the revelation that he would probably retire from tennis in 2024.
Nadal stated that he finds it difficult to even walk stairs because of his injuries, which have had a significant negative impact on his life even outside of the court, ahead of his farewell tour next year. On the other hand, he appeared to be moving far better during a practice session on Saturday.
The 37-year-old recently shared a video of himself practicing, maybe hinting to his supporters that he will be ready to play again next year.
Nadal’s last training video appeared after his surgery in early June. Now that he is back on the court, he is demonstrating that he is catching up by presenting his forehand and backhand as well as a variety of different serves. This keeps fans informed of his progress as they prepare to bid him farewell next season.
