Rumours swirl again surrounding Nadal retirement after continued withdrawals from clay court warm-ups

As it's been the case 100 times before, Rafael Nadal is rumoured to be heading to a retirement with some rumours speculating he might be done after this year.

Nadal has been out of action since this year's Australian Open when he injured his hip. The injury proved quite serious as he's yet to return to the courts and his latest withdrawal from the Barcelona Open doesn't make things look very optimistic. There is no official information regarding his return to the courts but rumours from Spain indicate that he might retire this season after all.

Obviously, nobody knows and this is hardly new news as speculations about his retirement have been going on for years. Whether Nadal retires this year or not remains to be seen but nobody truly knows except Nadal himself.
