French Open ohne Rafael Nadal (36) – unimaginable!
But this year will see Roland Garros without the Spanish superstar for the first time since 2004. At 4 p.m. on Thursday, the 22-time Grand Slam winner will be in his Tennis Academy in Manorca on Mallorca announced its withdrawal from the second major of the year at a press conference.
The Spanish media unanimously rule out that the Spaniard, who has been injured for years and who was often only able to play fit, will resign completely. However, the sports daily AS claims to have learned from Nadal’s environment that he will not be playing a match this year.
Accordingly, he wants to prepare for 2024, which should be the last year of his career. The goals are clear: 15th victory at the French Open and Olympic gold in Paris, in “his living room”, just two months after his favorite tournament. A farewell for the clay court king could not be more perfect.
