Patrick Mouratoglou Analyzes Rafael Nadal’s Possibilities in 2024

Patrick Mouratoglou, who was the coach of great figures in the world of racket such as Serena Williams or Holger Rune, spoke in an interview about one of the best in the history of this sport, Rafael Nadal, and analyzed the Spaniard’s possibilities in the face of 2024. In the statements, he emphasizes the physical condition that the Balearic Islander may be in next year, especially in view of Nadal’s fetish competition, Roland Garros.

However, the French coach gives the key to placing the 14-time winner on the Paris clay as one of the main contenders for the title. “The real question is: how much injury-free time will he have in 2024? If he has no pain and can play next year, there is no reason to think that he will not be dangerous/the favorite for Roland-Garros,” explained Mouratoglou.

To this end, he places the next Australian Open as a key date in which it will be the first major event that Rafa will compete in after announcing a break last May. “Will he be ready to win the Australian Open? It will probably be short. He will want to see if he can win a Grand Slam or if he is far away. If he is far from feeling that he can win a Grand Slam, he will probably stop. I don’t think he plays just to be number 20 in the world.”

“When it comes to Rafa, I understand that he doesn’t want to feel that pressure and he wants people to think that he will come next year to say goodbye. But he is not that style, he is going to play hard. He will have enough time to train. “Historically, he is a player who needs to play a lot,” the Frenchman concluded in view of the performance that can be found on the circuit compared to the Balearic Islands.

Nadal’s sensation

Rafael Nadal spoke to AS a few months later after announcing a break and commented on his feelings for the next season. “If suddenly things work very well, I feel physically well, my head usually works. If I feel competitive and enjoy what I do, why would I limit myself? I can’t say 100%. What do I think my last year is going to be? I’m saying it, I think it’s going to be my last year. What is it going to be 100%? I can’t be sure either because things can always happen and I don’t want to say one thing 100% and then they say, you said such a thing, because I’m not 100% sure. Now, if I had to bet something, I would say that it is my last year,” explained the tennis player.
