Rafael Nadal likely to drop out of top-10 rankings for the first time
Rafael Nadal has been struggling with injuries recently, which is hampering his performance. Ever since he had a good run in the initial part of 2022, winning two Grand Slams last year, his downfall began. He is unable to maintain his fitness and is missing out on many tournaments. To keep himself fresh for Roland Garros 2023, Rafa needs to attain full recovery.
He was recently injured during the Australian Open and couldn’t play at the top level. He faced a shocking second-round defeat due to his injury. However, his missing out on a few big ATP tours before Roland Garros would likely put him out of the top-10 rankings. The Spaniard is currently ranked sixth and is most likely to miss out on Indian Wells and the Miami Open. Rafa’s fans do believe that he will make a strong comeback at Roland Garros and win his 23rd Grand Slam title.
