Spanish tennis legend Rafael Nadal surprised everyone by returning to the court these days, although he announced his retirement a year ago.
Idman.Biz reports that the 22-time "Grand Slam" champion trained with Filipino tennis player Alexandra Eala. This is considered the veteran athlete's first serious preparation after a long break.
Nadal's training footage has generated great interest in the tennis community. Many experts have stated that his physical condition looks good and that he is showing high motivation in training.
The most frequently asked question by fans is: Can Nadal return to "Roland Garros" in 2026? The Spanish star has been champion in Paris 14 times so far, and this tournament has become a symbol of his career. If the situation allows, it is not excluded that the legend will make another historical attempt.
Although Nadal has not yet made an official statement about his return, this training session, despite ending his career, is considered an indicator that he has not completely left sports.
