Rafael Nadal is preparing to go all out during the 2024 season if his latest update is anything to go by
Nadal, who shared the worrisome news of his hip injury at the 2023 Australian Open, eventually underwent an arthroscopic procedure, which forced him to cut his season short.
The Spaniard is now back to training ahead of his highly-anticipated competitive return in 2024, which is likely to mark his career’s final season. And, as per his latest updates on social media, Rafael Nadal has ramped up his preparations. On Monday, November 20, the 37-year-old shared a video from one of his practice sessions, where he showed signs of new vigor. He could be seen hitting the court with Marc Lopez as well as his longtime coach, former World No. 1 Carlos Moya.
“As we start another week… we continue… Vamos! [Let’s go],” Rafael Nadal captioned the Instagram post.
It is worth noting that just a few days back, the 22-time Grand Slam champion had revealed that he was uncertain about ever taking to the court again, following his devastating injury.
“Well, I didn’t know if I would play tennis again one day. And now, I sincerely believe that I will play again,” the 37-year-old told the press at the Teknon Tennis Clinic in Barcelona.
The Spaniard’s latest progress video thus carries immense significance. He also recently conveyed that he will be sharing the schedule for his 2024 campaign soon, after having a conversation with his team.
“I confirmed I’ll be back. Stay tuned these days when I decide and announce with my team when and where,” the Spaniard teased on Instagram a few days ago.
