Rafael Nadal’s Comeback Update
Rafael Nadal’s comeback might be sooner than everyone thinks. The former World No. 1 suffered an injury earlier in the season at the Australian Open. The Spanish star had to take a break for the rest of the year as he was recuperating after going under the knife to address his various injuries.
Since then, fans have eagerly waited for the tennis star’s comeback. According to reports from Tennis365, Nadal’s recovery has been going better than expected. It seems like Nadal is making headway and progressing towards getting better. He has seen improvement in practice matches and might even play beginning next season.
