“Unfortunately, I will not be able to play at Roland Garros. I didn’t make that decision, my body did. I won’t be playing for the next few months. I hope to be ready for the Davis Cup”, said Nadal, and then he explained that 2024 will be the last year of his career.
“I want to play in 2024, as healthy as possible, and to enjoy that year, which will be the last of my career. And to say goodbye in the way I want”.
He did not hide his great disappointment over the fact that he will not play in his favorite tennis tournament.
“I’m fine but sad. I’m still at a high-level tennis-wise, but not physically. I have to accept it and move forward. There are many things in life that make me happy. I should be grateful for all the good things that have happened to me. Even though my head doesn’t want it, my body has said “enough” for now. I don’t know what will happen next year, some things I can’t control. It will be difficult to be competitive at slams, I’m not an irrational person. But I’m not negative either. I will try to give myself the opportunity to compete again at the highest level for titles”, concluded Nadal.
