The sporting legends Rafael Nadal and Tiger Woods are best of the friends. These two have shown their support and respect for each other on numerous occasions. One of their greatest moments was when Nadal hit an insane over-the-post winner to get match points against Marin Cilic in the quarter-finals of the US Open 2019 that made Woods stand up from his seats in the stadium and celebrate.

Now an old video has popped up where Nadal checks his phone right after winning the Toronto Open in 2018. When the camera moved closer to the Spaniard, he said that he was checking Tiger Woods’ score. He said then, “I have to see what Tiger [Woods] is doing.“ Woods was then playing at the PGA championships, after almost a year due to back issues.

Tiger Woods went on to finish second in that tournament. Soon, he won the next Masters in 2019. The year was great for Nadal as well, since he clinched his 4th US Open title months after his Toronto run. Now the old video shared by ATP has been retweeted by many of the Nadal fans since the guy has been missing on the tour due to a hip injury.

The Spanish great Rafael Nadal has not played a single match this season since the second-round loss against Mackenzie McDonald in the Australian Open second round due to a hip injury. He trained to be back ready for the clay season, but the hip injury concerns stopped him from stepping onto the courts for the entire year. He later announced that he will be back in 2024, probably to play his final season on the tour.

The 37-year-old is the most successful player of the US Open in the last decade, being able to clinch 4 titles. He was able to play in 5 finals between 2010 and 2019 there. The only loss was in the 2011 final against none other than Novak Djokovic. The Serbian star will be trying to utilize the best of the chances this year and make the Grand Slam lead to two.

The only player who can stop Djokovic in Nadal’s absence will be Carlos Alcaraz, the current world number one and Nadal’s compatriot. He has done the job quite well in the Wimbledon finals after losing in the semi-finals of the French Open.
