Rafael Nadal’s comeback has been a real rollercoaster so far, and it continues to be also ahead of the 2024 Qatar Open in Doha.

The new ATP season started perfectly for the Spanish player. He won two matches in Brisbane, and seemingly, everything was going really well on his highly-anticipated comeback to tennis.

However, then, during a loss to Jordan Thompson, Nadal sustained an injury, which forced him to withdraw from the Australian Open. But all started looking much better soon after that.

The 22-time major winner signed up for the Qatar Open, and the news from his camp were positive as well. On top of that, he regularly posted videos from training, suggesting he will be easily ready for the ATP 250 tournament in Doha.

However, shortly prior to the Qatar Open, Nadal provided an update, which worried most of his fans. According to Relevo, the Spaniard admitted to Ana Pastor for El Objective, that he’s still struggling with discomfort.
