The tennis world is on tenterhooks as speculation around the Spanish sensation Rafael Nadal‘s return in 2024 grows. The renowned tennis player who has created ripples in the game has previously hinted that 2024 will be his farewell year and hopes to make it one to remember. Another Spanish legend, Conchita Martinez, had a few words to say about Rafa in an interview.

Conchita Martinez, a former Wimbledon champion and Davis Cup captain is a Spanish tennis legend.“Whenever Rafa has had injuries he has gotten up and come back stronger, he has won important tournaments. I think that’s going to be his goal. But with the injuries we can’t fight, I hope he recovers,” said Martinez to claytenis when asked about Nadal’s return. She continues to praise the former world champion, saying that he will return stronger than ever, even if it is for the last time.

Conchita further said, “If he is fit, he will have a very competitive year. If he doesn’t see himself like that, well, we’ll see, then he will focus on the tournaments that matter to him, which will be Roland Garros and some prior. I hope he comes back stronger. We should never rule him out, he always surprises us.”

Spanish legend Conchita Martinez has won many trophies for Spain and has also been a wonderful captain for the men’s Davis Cup. In the interview with Claytenis, the Spaniard revealed her thoughts on Saudi being rejected to hold the WTA Finals.

“I was very happy that the Finals were going anywhere other than Saudi Arabia. There are many values, and the truth is that I do not see it as very positive that the WTA went there considering the way they treat women in that country. Look what women are to them. So why are we going there? Why are we going to go to Saudi Arabia with how women are seen there?,” asked Martinez.

Spain has already taken a step back as Carlos Alcaraz won’t be participating in the Davis Cup. They face Novak Djokovic and the Serbian team in the first round of the tournament. As of Nadal’s return, it will be a speculation to watch the return of the Spaniard in 2024 and fans are expecting the former champion to return better than ever and get back what he deserves.
