Rafael Nadal is gearing up for the 2024 Bastad Open with some impressive practice sessions.
His last singles match was at Roland Garros, where he faced Alexander Zverev and lost in three sets. While Nadal had moments of brilliance, he struggled to maintain consistency throughout the game.
Since then, he’s been training hard and appears much stronger now. In Bastad, he started off with a doubles win alongside Casper Ruud . Next up, he’ll face Leo Borg in the ATP 250 tournament.
Nadal’s Preparation and Insights:
Tomas Martin Etcheverry, who practiced with Nadal recently, shared that the Spaniard is playing exceptionally well. This news is encouraging as we approach the Olympics.
| Name | Age | Points | Stats 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rafael Nadal | 38 | 215 | 7 - 5 |
“The place we’re practising in is crazy… and Nadal is going at it,” said Etcheverry. “I’d say he’s playing very well. I’ve had the chance to ask him things, ask for advice, and he was always very humble.”
Fans might think this could be a turning point for Nadal’s comeback.
Nadal’s return has always been about timing. His performance at Roland Garros wasn’t ideal because he needed more matches to get back into his best form.
That’s why he’s in Bastad: to play more matches before the Paris Olympics just ten days away. Today’s singles match against Leo Borg will be a test for both players but expect Nadal’s experience to shine through.
What do you think? Can Nadal make a strong comeback?
