Rafa Nadal is counting down to return to the courts. It is still unknown when and where he will pick up his racket again, but the 22-time grand slam winner seems almost ready for his return after a year away from the circuit. The Manacorí played his last match last January at the Australian Open, when he was injured in the second round of the oceanic grand slam against the American Mackenzie McDonald. An injury to the iliac psoas left the king of Roland Garros out of the game and forced him to take an indefinite break to recover safely, something he announced last May along with his resignation from defending the crown he had achieved in 2022 in Paris.
The 14-time Roland Garros winner had to undergo surgery and has been working hard in recent months to be able to return to the courts. His return could occur at the Australian Open, something that the director of the Melbourne tournament announced and that forced Nadal to clarify. The phenomenon from Manacor has not yet confirmed where his return will take place and, with a high probability, he will play at least one tournament before landing in the oceanic major, if he plays the first grand slam of 2024.
Rafa Nadal has been very active in recent weeks on his social networks and this Wednesday he published a new video training at his Academy. Under the hashtags #tennis, #comeback ???? and #instasport, you can see Rafa Nadal hitting the ball and hitting the forehand and backhand at high intensity. As expected, the manacorí’s new video has unleashed excitement among his followers, eager for Rafa Nadal’s imminent return to the courts.
A few days ago, Nadal himself confirmed that his return was already a reality and that he would announce where he will reappear. “I confirmed yesterday that I will return. Stay tuned these days when I decide, I will announce with my team when and where,” wrote the Spanish tennis player.
Nadal’s possible return plan to the circuit
There is much speculation about how Rafa Nadal will carry out his return to the courts and journalist Pedro Fullana advances on Cadena SER that the Manacorí’s plan is to travel in the first half of December to Kuwait, to a delegation from his academy, to test himself. in conditions of heat and humidity similar to those that could be found next January in Melbourne. After a few days in Kuwait, Rafa will return to Spain before traveling to Australia.
According to the information provided by Cadena Ser, Nadal would finalize his preparation on Australian soil, playing some matches prior to the Australian Open and gaining the necessary rhythm to reappear with guarantees in the Oceanic Grand Slam.
