Rafael Nadal will return to the field at the Madrid Open next week, less than a month before the start of Roland Garros, the tournament that the Spaniard has won 13 times. The 35-year-old Majorcan resumed training days ago after being stopped four weeks due to an infraction in his ribs and announced on social media that he wants to participate in the Masters 1000 Madrid despite being “short of preparation” but, he stressed, “I have a great desire to play and play at home because there are few opportunities. See you in Madrid. “
Nadal was injured against the American Taylor Fritz in the Indian Wells final on March 22nd and announced that he planned to stop for four / six weeks. That defeat ended his 20-game winning streak that began in early 2022 including his Australian Open triumph against Daniil Medvedev. That success earned him the 21st title in a slam tournament, making him overtake Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, standing at twenty.
