RAFAEL NADAL HAS withdrawan from the French Open because his hip injury has not healed and said he expects 2024 to be his final year in professional tennis.
“It’s not a decision I’m taking, it’s a decision my body is taking,” said the 36-year-old Spanish superstar, who has played at the claycourt major every year since 2005 and won it 14 times.
Nadal said he was taking a few months off before starting to play again.
“It’s probably going to be my last year on the professional tour, I can’t say this 100% because you never know what’s going to happen,” he told a news conference.
