Rafael Nadal returns to tennis in less than ten days, and fellow ATP colleague Andrey Rublev could see him challenge for Grand Slams again.
While it might have seemed impossible a few months ago, it’s finally happening. Rafael Nadal is returning to tennis, and many people are curious about how it will go. Some expect him to completely bomb, while others expect him to be competitive.
According to those who actually stood with him on a tennis court recently, Nadal is playing well enough to be competitive, but we’ll see what happens. The comeback isn’t happening for him only to be part of the Tour.
He’s coming back with the intention of winning events, especially Grand Slams, and Andrey Rublev certainly thinks it could happen. He talked about Nadal with The National News.
We don’t know yet [where his level will be at], but how many times people would say, not just about Rafa, about all those three players, every time they were injured or down and losing matches everybody was saying, ‘Now the time of Roger or time of Rafa or time of Novak, is coming to an end’ and they always proved them wrong. So I will not be surprised if he will prove it again and wins more slams.
It must be said that the Russian is quite biased because he grew up idolizing Nadal, so you won’t hear anything bad about him from Rublev’s mouth. Time will tell best, and we won’t have to wait too long to find out.
His return will happen at the Brisbane International event, which begins immediately after New Year’s. Pretty soon, the Australian Open will also roll around, and that’s going to be the biggest test to date. Roland Garros will be the litmus test of whether he can win Grand Slams again.
