How Rafael Nadal could feasibly return just before start of 2024 as comeback bid continues
ATPWednesday, 11 October 2023 at 07:30
Spain’s legendary tennis star Rafael Nadal could return as soon as this year after an encouraging video appeared on social media.
The 37-year-old is currently spending a lengthy spell on the sidelines as he continues to recover from a foot injury.
It was because of this reason, Nadal ended up missing three out of the four Grand Slams in 2023.
However, in a video posted on a social media platform, the former world number one can be seen training hard as he has now taken his rehabilitation to another level which might see him return to action sooner than later.
At the time of injury, Nadal insisted that his primary goal is to regain his fitness to play a final season next year but also stated that he would do all he could in his power to return to action as soon as possible.
“My goal and my ambition is to try and stop and give myself an opportunity to enjoy the next year that will probably be my last year in the professional tour,” said the 22-time Grand Slam winner.
“That is my idea but I can’t say 100 per cent it will be like this, but my idea and my motivation is to try to enjoy and say goodbye to all the tournaments that have been important for me. To enjoy being competitive and something that today is not possible. I believe, if I keep going now, I will not be able to make it happen.
“Since after the pandemic, my body was not able to do the practice or diary work in a good way so I was not able to enjoy the practice and competition because too many problems, too many times having to stop for physical conditions and too many days off not practising because of too much pain.
“I need to stop for a while. My position is to stop and I don’t know when I can come back to the practice court.
“I will stop for a while, maybe one month, maybe two months, maybe three months. I am a guy who doesn’t like to predict too much the future. I am following what I believe is the right thing to do for my body and my personal happiness.”
