"Looking forward to it": Rafael Nadal hints at big surprise related to Kia collaboration coming soon to Madrid

Spain’s legendary tennis player Rafael Nadal has hinted at giving a big surprise while responding on social media.

The 37-year-old is currently spending a lengthy time on the sidelines as he continues his recovery from a lengthy injury layoff.

Nadal, while responding to Kia’s official account, hinted at a possible return to the court by stating: "Yeap… looking forward to it… Madrid?"

The former world number one has not played a professional tennis match for nearly 10 months because of a knee injury. It is because of this reason he ended up missing three out of the four Grand Slams.

He only participated in the Australian Open in 2023 where he was knocked out after losing the round of 64 clash to America’s Mackenzie McDonald in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-4, 7-5.

Nadal is often regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of men’s singles tennis in the Open era, winning 22 Grand Slams.

His most successful competition is the French Open where he has lifted the title 14 times which is also a record in the tournament’s history.

His last major tournament victory came in 2022 while playing at the Roland Garros where he defeated Norway’s Casper Ruud in the final with a score of 6-3, 6-3, 6-0.
