The world of tennis is currently abuzz with rumors surrounding Spanish star Rafael Nadal. After a year of injuries, he is all set to make a comeback in the 2024 season. With a lot of hype around his comeback, Nadal is definitely under pressure to perform his best. In a recent interview, his uncle Toni Nadal gives an update on the Spanish Star.

Novak Djokovic along with Carlos Alcaraz and Medvedev have had a wonderful 2023 season. But Toni’s sarcastically funny remark might have gone a tad over the line. He joked on ill-wishing the veteran Serbian and the young Spaniard to get injured for Rafa to gain charges over them to win his 15th French Open.

He's playing good, I've been watching him over the past few days, he's practicing well. He's certainly getting much better, but we need Alcaraz, Djokovic, and Medvedev to be injured. That will help Rafa.

Rafa has been seen practicing well and preparing for his possible comeback in the 2024 Australian Open but the Spaniard already accepted that he might not play as worthy enough to win a Grand Slam.

However, his uncle reveals Nadal’s dreams before he hangs up his racket. This is what he had to say:

It’s my nephew’s dream because next year is probably going to be the final season of his career. So, he wants to compete at the highest level again, his determination is still there. He’s got 14 French Open titles under his belt, so why not a 15th to end on? We need that 15th trophy.

Once the 2024 season gets underway, the French Open will come into view and Nadal will be under pressure to perform his best.
