Nadal set to receive AS Sports Award for sixth time

Rafael Nadal had an amazing year in 2022 and for all of his efforts and achievments the Spaniard will get his 6th AS Sports Award.

The Spaniard opened the year with an amazing comeback in the Australian Open final against Medvedev winning his 20th grand slam. He won his 21 at the French Open playing on a numb foot after taking daily injections. He was undefeated until the Indian Wells where Taylor Fritz proved better.

He won several trophies and had solid runs at Wimbledon and at the US Open finishing the year in the top 3. All of that is incredible considering his age and the history with injuries and everything else. He else began his 900th consecutive week in the top 10 yesterday. Due to all of that, Nadal will be awarded his sixth AS Sports award today.
