Rafael Nadal back in training to prepare for the Laver Cup

We last seen Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros, in the quarter-finals of the men’s doubles at the Olympic Games where he was paired with the No 3 in the world: Carlos Alcaraz.

While the pair delighted the crowd on Court Philippe-Chatrier, they did not manage to achieve a medal for Spain. In singles, the Mallorcan was eliminated in the 2nd round by the gold medalist: Novak Djokovic. Since then, he has left us with little or no news. Rafa announced his withdrawal from the US Open, which did not fail to worry fans who are impatiently waiting for the date of his retirement, while hoping that it will be as late as possible.

On Sunday, August 18, the Bull of Manacor spoke to MARCA, announcing that he has not yet made a decision, and that he is not in a hurry: “I will warn you. When I know, you will know, I am not in a hurry to make a decision about my future. What is certain is that I will be at the Laver Cup and then we will see“.

RAFA BACK TO TRAINING WITH A SMILE

This Wednesday, Rafael Nadal once again stirred up the tennis world by posting a photo of himself returning to training on his social media accounts.

No one knows what the Spaniard’s future holds, but he is still there, preparing for the competition that saw Roger Federer’s career end alongside him in a doubles loss to Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe.
