      exactly. if he doesn't believe he can hold up physically and have a shot at going all the way, why should he tarnish his record there? besides he didn't lose in 2023 since he didn't play. so, he could potentially retire as the 2022 champion

      no, only if he is physically ready and personally believes he has a shot. 2022 was a miracle win, against all odds and beyond belief. his two 6-2 sets vs Djokovic in the quarters were beyond surreal and in all honesty i don't know how he won that year. he didn't play in 2023 so technically unbeaten and i firmly believe he shouldn't tarnish his record if he is not fully 💯 ready to go all the way. he can't serve with a lot of power, his forehand is too short though his backhand was fantastic at key moments.
      So, i will more than understand if he says no mas` at the french. everyone knows he is the greatest FO champion. By far. He has nothing left to prove

      I'm a Nadal fan and completely agree with you! I think he should play until RG this year, maybe Olympics and leave it at that. RG should be his last slam for the year, and then he'll play laver cup as he promised and retire like Roger did. I love seeing him play, and will absolutely miss him. But it's better for him to hang the racquet rather than staining his great H2H with the players and the Win-Loss rates.

    Maybe you did not watch the match. Nadal plays with his 60 % although he can play even more. He cares his body and do not force the edge. However, in the couple of games, he wanted to push little bit more and see how his body will react. It was incredible as he hit that last passing shot. That shot was as good as his best passing shot. After that shot, Nadal got emotional as he started to believe he can reach better version of himself. He is also discovering himself. Amazing moment to watch

    I still sincerely believe that if Rafa is healthy and playing competitively at the end of this year he will play 2025 season. He hasn’t confirmed that 2024 will be his last; it’s all speculation and potentially this potentially that. 2024 hasn’t gone how he wanted it having been out for 1/3 of it and if he feels he still has a realistic chance of winning tournaments I can’t imagine him throwing the towel in yet. The amount of hard work and dedication it’s taking for him to come back after being off for so long just wouldn’t be worth it for just another 6 months of tennis. We shall see. Novak seems to be fatigued a lot easier than even 6 months ago so this may prevent him winning another slam. If Rafa plays a couple more years and only wins the French he will equalise on the 24 slams Novak has ❤

    Personally I think it's pretty clear Nadal has been avoiding going all out, doesn't want to be injured for RG/Rome. Once he won that set he upped his level a bit to finish it quickly, had he lost the tiebreaker I could see him dropping the second set.

    Just don't understand why RG can't give a seed number to Rafa.. after 14 titles there. Didn't Wimbledon give #1 to Serena when she was also coming back from an injury and out of Top100? I just feel Rafa is slowly trying to inform everyone that he's not playing RG, at least singles and I just hope it's not because how RG treats him regarding seeding the players for the tournament.

    • @z1az285
      @z1az285 Před 14 dny

      Wimbledon seeding is different. the FO follows the same protocol as all other slams. that being said if rafa isn't physically ready to play BO 5, why should he tarnish his record (112-3) by playing when he doesn't have a chance to go all the way? plus RG has built a statue in his honor. its unprecedented but not surprising. No one has won a slam event 14 times in the open era. Its a staggering achievement, and may never be broken.. don't forget, he hasn't been beaten since 2022 and there is no shame if he doesn't play. after all, his last win was as champion and he won 2022 against all odds , and beyond belief. surreal achievement

      He might be feeling okay today but he has had no ATP tour matches for almost 2 years. Matches played is just as important as mental and physical fitness when it comes to winning.
      It took Zverev months to get back to form after his long lay-off and he's only 27. It will be a miracle if Rafa keeps going in this tournament or at RG but the media keep asking anyway. I'm happy just to see him play. To win of course but we need to be realistic.
