Rafael Nadal will not be with Spain in the 2022 Davis Cup. The Spanish tennis player managed to reach the round of 16 at the US Open, which was won by Carlos Alcaraz, although Rafa was eliminated in four sets against Frances Tiafoe, which left him out of the fight for his 23rd Grand Slam.
After being eliminated, the Balearic returned to Spain to be in the final stages of his wife’s pregnancy and to continue recovering from the abdominal injury, since he had to change the way he delivered so as not to affect the area so much. Despite this, the Spaniard does not attend the Davis Cup, since this September he will have the Laver Cup, from September 23 to 25.
Although the year does not end for Nadal there, since he also would have one south american tour. Also, I would have noted the Shanghai Masters 1,000 (October 9-16), the Paris-Bercy Masters 1,000 (October 31 to November 6) and the ATP Finals in Turin (November 13-20). A very tight schedule for Nadal, where he hopes not to suffer any more injuries and face the year 2023.
