Words and goals

The left-handed champion suffered an injury to his left leg last January at the Australian Open and missed the entire clay court season, missing Monte Carlo, Barcelona, ​​Madrid, Rome and Paris. “I will come back when I am ready mentally and physically – Nadal added -. One of the goals may be to return to Davis Cup play and start 2024 well, while ensuring the ability to compete in what could be the last season. Indeed, the Spanish phenomenon has made it clear that next year will indeed be his last season but only if he can still play at an acceptable competitive level, otherwise his adventure may already be over. However, attempting an operation is the thousandth proof that Nadal does not want to leave any stone unturned and tries everything to get back into play thus offering another kind of farewell to tennis.
