All the latest news about Rafael Nadal’s French Open 2024 status. <\/p>
The French Open isn\u2019t really the French Open without Rafael Nadal, is it?<\/p>\n
The Spanish superstar, the King of Clay, has won the tournament on 14 occasions in 18 attempts since his maiden voyage in 2005.<\/p>\n
Nadal won his first four Roland-Garros tournaments in a row or, to put it another way, he won nine of his first 10 efforts in Paris.<\/p>\n
Whichever way you cut it, Nadal has laid down an almighty benchmark, an era of dominance virtually unmatched in any sport.<\/p>\n
However, the big question on everyone\u2019s lips: can he do it one more time?<\/p>\n
RadioTimes.com<\/a> brings you all the latest news about whether Rafael Nadal will play at the French Open 2024.<\/p>\n Yes<\/strong>. Against all the odds, Rafael Nadal will play at the French Open in 2024.<\/p>\n Nadal missed the vast majority of the 2023 season through injury. After withdrawing from the French Open in 2023, he made an announcement strongly suggesting he would retire following the 2024 season.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cIt\u2019s not a decision I\u2019m taking, it\u2019s a decision my body is taking. It\u2019s probably going to be my last year on the professional tour, I can\u2019t say this 100 per cent because you never know what\u2019s going to happen. I believe I don\u2019t deserve to finish [now].\u201d<\/p>\n At the time, many took this as confirmation of his retirement, but the situation appears more \u2018grey\u2019 than first expected.<\/p>\n Following a remarkable run at the Madrid Open 2024 in April, Nadal said: \u201cFor me, even if it\u2019s an emotional day, it\u2019s not my last match. I\u2019m not retiring yet so saying goodbye from a very special place for me and things need to keep going for me.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I don\u2019t know when is going to be my last match but I don\u2019t want to become too emotional because I want to keep going for a while and just trying to keep focus on my path.\u201d<\/p>\n Nadal is still firmly expected to retire in 2024, but until he hangs up the racket for good, the show goes on.
