Last year, the French Open crowd were unable to cheer on Rafael Nadal due to injury. He is hoping to be there this year, when 2024 will see the end of his career on the ATP circuit. It's an opportunity for him to go out with a bang, shining one last time at the Paris clay-court event, and then during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which will be held at the same venue.
The famous player, who has already won 14 trophies at Roland-Garros, will try to add more to his record of achievements, before making way for a promising new generation. Having suffered from Müller-Weiss syndrome since the age of 18, and often having to play in considerable pain, he has already left his mark on the history of tennis. But his main objective remains the French Open, as he is"not 100% sure of being in good condition" for the Olympic Games, he told Spanish TV channel La Sexta.
For the time being, he has been injured for over a month and has once again had to withdraw from the Australian Open. The tennis world is hoping for his return to form by the summer, for a final year of great tennis!
