On Friday, Rafael Nadal put an end to a long and unbearable suspense for all his fans by announcing his return to competition in January 2024. The Spaniard, out of the circuits since his psoas injury last January during the Australian Open, will try to find a level similar to that it had in 2022. Sébastien Grosjean, who coaches Arthur Fils, sees a bright future for the 663rd in the world, who could imitate Roger Federer.

It must be hard for a champion to regain his rhythm and his level after such a long absence on the tennis courts. Rafael Nadal, injured all year 2023 will participate in the tournament Brisbane and to the Australian Open, next January. The end of the ordeal for the one who had a blank season in 2023, victim of a psoas injury.

Nadal returns to competition

In a video posted on his social networks on Friday, Rafael Nadal announced his return to competition: “After a year without competition, it is time to come back and it will be in Brisbane. »

“These champions, once they return to competition, they find the rhythm”

Good news for Sébastien Grosjean who sees Rafael Nadal achieve a superb comeback, like that of Roger Federer in 2017: “I’m a fan of Rafa, I love the champion and the man, so I’m delighted, it’s great that he’s coming back. It’s a good sign, it’s good. I can’t wait to see him again. We’ll see how he recovers, we’ll see him train. If he announced his return for Brisbane and Melbourne, it is because, on a physical level, he is there. These champions, once they return to competition, they find the rhythm. Federer did it after Wimbledon (in 2016): the (knee) operation, six months of absence and, behind it, he won the Australian Open and Wimbledon (in 2017). »
