Rafael Nadal aims to come back for the clay season
Though there are uncertainties about Nadal’s Monte Carlo Masters return, the tennis world is hopeful that arguably the greatest tennis player of all time will come back to his favorite hunting ground of clay to reaffirm his superstar status on this surface.
Spanish star Rafael Nadal has had an injury-hit career. But he has always come back stronger to win more Majors and break more records. Despite being one of the unluckiest players in the history of the game in terms of injuries, Nadal is still the most successful Grand Slam players ever. With 22 Grand Slams won, he is still at the top with Novak Djokovic.
In 2022, the Spaniard underwent a radio-frequency treatment. It was expected to stop the pain in the foot by numbing the nerves. The fans were expecting an-injury free Nadal after the foot treatment. But the abdomen injury in the second half of 2022 and the hip injury at the start of 2023 have given them further blows. The date of Nadal’s comeback is not yet confirmed but the tennis world is waiting for some happy news soon from the champion himself.
