Daily Dose of Social Media: Nadal's son cheers proudly as Sabalenka updates her recovery process

After Wimbledon, the competition continues worldwide on the ATP and WTA Tours. Several top players are taking advantage of the break to prepare for the Olympic Games. Rafael Nadal is at the Bastad Open, where a heartwarming photo of his son was shared on social media as he watched his father debut in singles against Leo Borg.

Meanwhile, Emma Raducanu and Aryna Sabalenka are among those who have shared updates on their recent activities, considering they are not currently competing and will not be attending the Olympic Games. Updates have also been shared about the condition of Court Philippe Chatrier at Roland Garros.

After a successful grass-swing, where she reached the fourth round of Wimbledon, Emma Raducanu is taking a couple of weeks off from competition. The British player lost to Lulu Sun 2-6, 7-5, 2-6 but gained enough points to return to the top 100 after more than a year.

The 2021 US Open champion will not be participating in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Her next challenge will be at the WTA 500 Washington Open, where she received a wildcard from the organizers. The tournament will be played on hard courts. Raducanu posted a compilation of photos from her recent days at Wimbledon, along with a short video: “Recent mix, swipe to join carpool karaoke,” she captioned.

World No. 3 Aryna Sabalenka shared a video on social media showcasing her daily routine over the past few days. The 2-time Grand Slam champion withdrew in the quarterfinals of the Berlin Open against Anna Kalinskaya due to a shoulder injury and later announced she would not be playing at Wimbledon as she was "not at 100%."

The Belarusian player is aiming for her return to the courts at the Washington Open starting on July 29. Sabalenka is the main absence from the female draw for the Olympic Games, being the only top-10 player not competing for a medal, joining absentees such as Daria Kasatkina, Madison Keys, Ons Jabeur, and Emma Raducanu.

In her latest Instagram reel, Sabalenka is seen going through her morning routine, having breakfast, training at the gym, and undergoing physiotherapy on her right shoulder: “What my mornings have looked like recently,” she captioned.

One of the great surprises of Wimbledon came from 23-year-old player Lulu Sun, who arrived at the All England Club ranked No. 123 and reached the quarterfinals after qualifying. Sun defeated rivals such as 8th seed Zheng Qinwen and former US Open champion Emma Raducanu along the way, but was eliminated by Donna Vekic.

The New Zealander entered the top 100 for the first time in her career, securing the world No. 53 spot in the WTA rankings, a milestone likely to influence her schedule for the remainder of the season. She will next compete at the WTA 125 Warsaw Open, a tournament that was a 250-level event until last year and was last won by Iga Swiatek. This time, Sun will be the main star in the draw.

Lulu Sun made a name for herself at Wimbledon and now enjoys a new status on the tour as a name to watch for the rest of the season. The New Zealander cherished her unforgettable weeks at SW19 and shared several photos from her time there, including moments with legends Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova.

"Unforgettable moments at Wimbledon 🎾💕 and on top of that I got to warm up the legendary Navratilova as well as meet THE Billie Jean King! An unbelievable experience and honor to have these opportunities! Thank you London! See you next year!"

Rafael Nadal had a triumphant return to the courts at the ATP 250 Bastad Open. The 22-times Grand Slam champion defeated Swedish player Leo Borg, son of 11-times Grand Slam champion Björn Borg, in the first round. Nadal expressed, “It’s a huge honor to play against the son of one of the biggest legends in the history of our sport. I think he played quite well, he has a future in front so I wish him all the very best.”

A day earlier, Nadal teamed up with Casper Ruud in the doubles draw to face second seeds Guido Andreozzi and Miguel Angel Reyes-Varela. The Ruud-Nadal partnership proved successful with a straight-sets victory, setting them up for a quarterfinal clash against Safiulin – Arribage on Wednesday. Nadal is also preparing for his participation in the Olympics, where he will team up with Carlos Alcaraz.

During his match against Borg, Nadal was accompanied by his wife María Francisca Perello and their son Rafael in his player's box. Television broadcasts captured a tender moment of his son watching his father's victory on the Center Court of the Bastad Open.

Top players will have their next major appointment at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, to be held at Roland Garros, less than two months after Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz claimed the French Open title at Philippe Chatrier.

Precisely, the main court at Roland Garros is preparing to host the key matches of the tennis and wheelchair tennis draws, as well as boxing and sitting volleyball competitions at the Paralympics. The official Olympics accounts have now shared images of the transformation that Philippe Chatrier has undergone in preparation for the tournament.

The 2022 Wimbledon runner-up was at Wimbledon, not as a competitor but as a commentator for BBC Sports broadcasts. The Australian teamed up with John McEnroe for commentary on several matches and was a key analyst for the British network.

Kyrgios even took to the court to hit with Novak Djokovic during the Serbian's training sessions at the tournament. The Aussie hopes to return to the courts soon but remains uncertain about a possible date. Meanwhile, Kyrgios turned to social media to comment on the recent signing by the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA: "Gary Trent Jr. to the Bucks - underrated signing," Kyrgios opined.
