Nadal said he was 'surprised' Tennis Australia announced him for the Aus Open 2024. 🎙️🇪🇸 "I had no idea they would say that. I was the first one to be surprised because I don't even know it myself [when I'll return]. I understand and appreciate the hope of the Australian Open…

“I was the first to be surprised [when Tiley announced he’ll be at AO24], cause I don’t know.” Anything else needed to call out this man’s bluff? He announces players just to sell tickets, wake up.

Rafa will be ready when he is ready. Tiley is not his spokesperson

It’s a ridiculous situation. If he is to return in January he has no shot at even reaching a quarter final. It’s one full year without a single competitive match or preparation tournament. And still practicing with pain close to November.
