When Rafael Nadal returns to the ATP Tour the following week, his uncle and former coach, Toni Nadal, believes his nephew can beat Roland Garros.
Rafael Nadal missed almost the whole competitive season because of a psoas muscle injury he sustained during the 2023 Australian Open. The 37-year-old’s ranking, at 672, is the lowest since 2002.
In the Brisbane ATP 250 tournament quarterfinals last month, he defeated Jordan Thompson in two sets.
Rafael Nadal informed the audience that he had suffered a “micro tear” in this loss, despite the fact that it wasn’t as severe as his previous injury.
After skipping Doha, Rafael Nadal will compete at Indian Wells the following week.
Rafael Nadal’s 27-year-old coach claims that tennis aids in his recovery. “He must fight for it. not related to him. That is not how he usually behaves. Toni Nadal once said that “playing is necessary to be ready.”
Even though he did not talk about Rafael Nadal’s tennis career, the 63-year-old expressed hope that the tennis star would add yet another prize to his already incredible collection.
“I think he played at a good level [in Brisbane], which is very positive because he hasn’t competed in a long time,” said Nadal. I think this is because I watched him train at the academy.
“I would rather state that he will prevail in the French Open.” We’re limited to waiting and seeing. Despite the challenges, I hope my nephew does well at Roland Garros and the Olympics.
Even though Roland Garros is in a few months, Rafael Nadal’s main objective is to play an exhibition match against Carlos Alcaraz in Las Vegas on Sunday, then Indian Wells the following week.
