The Australian Open is on the brink of arrival and tennis fans could not seem to control their excitement. However, their excitement just doubled recently after Rafael Nadal announced his comeback into the sport. After being out of the court for almost a year, the Spanish legend will be making his much-awaited return to the game and will be looking to conquer the courts of Australia as he did back in 2022. However, before announcing his return officially, he suggested that this year could be his last one on the professional circuit.

But, in a recent revelation, Rafael Nadal seems to suggest that his retirement by the end of the year will solely depend on how well his body performs this year. This news gave his fans a ray of hope as they joined in and hoped he would continue long enough.

Fans hope Rafael Nadal does not retire at the end of the season

A recent video, posted on Nadal’s Twitter account was shared on Reddit, where he talked about how his retirement plans would depend on how his body performs at the end of the season. He suggested that it would not be fair to say anything right now as what if he enjoys playing tennis yet again after returning to the professional circuit?

This news filled his fans with joy as they could not seem to control their excitement. One fan came ahead and asked God to allow Rafa 1-2 years more as the tennis world has clearly missed him a lot. “Plz tennis gods, give us 1-2 more years of Rafa on his top level!! Tennis is definitely missing him,” wrote the fan.

This fan came in and suggested that while Rafa talked about how difficult these times have been for him to be out of the court and his body not allowing him to play professionally, his eyebrows certainly narrate a different story. “Even when he’s trying to give the blankest expression that eyebrow is always telling a different story,” wrote the fan.
