Rafael Nadal is back in training to prepare for the Laver Cup
We last saw Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros, in the quarterfinals of the men’s doubles at the Olympic Games, where he faced the number 3 in the world: Carlos Alcaraz.
Although the pair delighted the crowds on Court Philippe-Chatrier, they failed to win a medal for Spain. In singles, the Majorcan was eliminated in the 2nd round by gold medalist Novak Djokovic. Since then, he has left us little or no news. Rafa announced his withdrawal from the US Open, worrying fans who are impatiently awaiting the date of his retirement and hoping that it will be as late as possible.
On Sunday, August 18, Bull of Manacor spoke to MARCA and announced that he had not yet made a decision and that he was in no hurry: “I will warn you. When I know, you will know. I am in no 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 IS BACK TO TRAINING WITH A SMILE
This Wednesday, Rafael Nadal once again caused a stir in the tennis world by posting a photo of himself returning to training on his social media accounts.
Nobody knows what the future holds for the Spaniard, but he is still here, preparing for the match that ended Roger Federer’s career with a double defeat to Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe.
