Rafael Nadal‘s chance to grab his third Grand Slam title of the year and his 23rd Grand Slam title was shattered after his fourth-round loss at the 2022 US Open by Frances Tiafoe. He had a successful stint in the Grand Slam matches of this year but the American ended his quest by beating him in four sets giving the Spaniard less chance to take control over the game.
Nadal was on the road for a calendar Grand Slam but faced a setback when he suffered an abdominal injury during his quarter-final match at Wimbledon and further being forced to withdraw as per his doctor’s advice which kept him out for a few weeks for recovery and rehabilitation.
Tennis Twitter excited to find Rafael Nadal back on the court after his debacle at the US Open
Nadal had already appeared at two Grand Slam finals this year and even had won the singles title taking his tally to 22 singles Grand Slam titles surpassing Novak Djokovic‘s 21 titles and Roger Federer‘s 20 titles. He had been dealing with injuries for quite a time and had revealed about taking injections and medication to deal with the pain during his matches and is in his absolute fittest form.
Coming into the US Open, he had skipped playing at the Montreal Open and had faced an early elimination at the Cincinnati Open with his fitness a bit of concern. But he had a great start to the final Grand Slam tournament registering some great wins. During his post-match interview, he stated about the uncertainty in his tour and no surety in his comeback.
But there was some good news for his fans across the world when the 22-time Grand Slam champion was seen back on the court practicing at his academy in Mallorca. Seeing the Spaniard back on the court, Tennis Twitter is excited and hopeful for his comeback at the Laver Cup.
