After missing the US Open three of the previous four years, Rafael Nadal was one of the players on the main draw entrance lists for the 2024 tournament that were made public on Tuesday. The Spanish left-hander will enter the field for the Flushing Meadows fortnight, which starts on August 26, with a protected ranking of ninth.

The 22-time Grand Slam champion Nadal defeated Leo Borg 6-3, 6-4 on Tuesday in his first singles match since May 27 at the Nordea Open. Nadal hadn’t competed since falling to Alexander Zverev on the red clay of Paris in the opening round.

Since winning his fourth New York hardcourt title in 2019, Nadal has only participated in one US Open, in 2022. He was one of 14 players to secure a protected rating and be selected in the main event.

In addition to winning the US Open in 2013, 2017, and 2019, Nadal completed a career Grand Slam in 2010 in the event. After making it to the fourth round in 2022, he has only participated in two Slams and has never advanced past the second round.
