When will Nadal return on the tennis tour?

Unfortunately, Nadal aggravated his persistent foot injury during his French Open semifinal battle against Novak Djokovic. Since then, he’s been in recovery mode.

Although he later competed in Citi Open, it only made things worse. Soon after, Nadal announced that he would not play any other tournament in 2021.

Furthermore, the Spaniard recently raised concerns over his return next year. Even so, he will be training hard to make sure his comeback is sooner rather than later. 

Hopefully, Nadal will return with 100% fitness in 2022. However, winning his 21st Grand Slam title will be an altogether different challenge. Do you think Nadal can win one more major title next year?
