‘I hope to see Rafa play beyond 2024’: Uncle wishes his best to nephew on epic comeback, but remains skeptical
Spanish tennis legend Rafael Nadal made a comeback to tennis action on Tuesday as the 37-year-old played in the first round of the Barcelona Open. It was a successful outing for the 22-time Grand Slam champion as he thumped his opponent, Flavio Cobolli in straight sets of 6-2, 6-3 in front of a packed stadium. Nadal was happy and so were his fans.
Meanwhile, his former coach and uncle, Toni Nadal, also shared his wishes for Rafa. He wished to see Nadal playing beyond the 2024 season, but was quick to admit that the Spaniard’s body is not coping with him.
