“It's a pity, of course”: Elena Rybakina wishes to see more of ‘legend’ Rafael Nadal
ATPThursday, 02 May 2024 at 09:35
Women’s world number four Elena Rybakina has stated that she
would like to see legendary Rafael Nadal for ‘many more year’. The 37-year-old is
often regarded as the greatest player in the history of men’s tennis, having
won as many as 22 Grand Slam titles.
Nadal has struggled with fitness concerns in the recent past
and it was because of this reason, he ended up missing three out of the four
Grand Slams in 2023. The former world number one returned to the court earlier
this year where he once again had a niggle which ruled him out of action for
four months. Because of all these injury concerns, the 14-time French Open
winner announced last year that the 2024 season would be his last at the
highest level.
Rybakina was quoted in a recent report stating that she watched Nadal’s last match in Spain. “Yeah, I actually watched it a
little bit yesterday, but then I went to sleep,” she said. “I didn't finish
till the end. It’s pretty amazing to see him play. It's a pity, of course
because you want to see him play many more years (smiling), but I think he had
a great career. He's such a legend, and so many young players look up to him. So
I think it's great to see him play here, and hopefully at the French Open he
can also show some good tennis. Yeah, let's see. But it's always nice to see
him play.”

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
