Rafael Nadal became an instant favorite in the US after his emphatic win in the 2019 season of the competition. However, a certain Daniil Medvedev made it almost impossible for Nadal to win his 4th US Open title.

Is retirement on the cards for Rafael Nadal?

As 1/3 of the ‘Big 3’, Rafael Nadal has dominated world tennis for more than a decade now. Throughout his career, he’s won 20 Grand Slam titles; a feat only his fellow ‘G.O.A.T’s have achieved.

However, fans speculate if his friendly return to the US Open is the last time they will see the Spaniard in action. In his last outing, Nadal lacked his agility and sharpness, his greatest attributes once upon a time.

Regardless, keeping aside these fears, fans are sure to enjoy watching Nadal in action after a long break. The future right now is uncertain but history is proof that Rafael Nadal is full of surprises.
