Spain’s legendary tennis star Rafael Nadal is now gearing up for a potential return to the court following a lengthy injury layoff.
The former world number one is currently spending time on the sidelines as he continues his recovery from a knee injury. It was because of this reason he ended up missing three out of the four Grand Slams this year.
In a video posted on his official Instagram account, Nadal showcased how he is preparing to return to high-profile tennis after a long break. His post caption was “As we start another week… we continue… Vamos! [Let’s go].”
The 37-year-old is often regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of men’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 22 Grand Slam titles. His most successful competition is the French Open where he went on to win the title 14 times which is also a record in the tournament’s history.
It is because of this reason he is also known as the ‘King of Clay’. Nadal’s last major triumph was also while playing at the Roland Garros in 2022 where he defeated Norway’s Casper Ruud in the final in straight sets with a score of 6–3, 6–3, 6–0.
