Toni Nadal, Rafael Nadal’s uncle and former coach, has provided an encouraging update on Rafa’s condition as he prepares for his farewell appearance at the Davis Cup. Toni shared that Nadal has been training rigorously at his academy and appears in peak physical form, marking one of the best shapes he’s seen him in recent years. This comes as Rafa gears up for his final professional event following a series of injuries that led to his decision to retire.
Nadal’s retirement at the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga has sparked high demand for tickets, with resale prices reaching astonishing figures. However, scheduling issues have yet to confirm the exact timing of Nadal’s farewell ceremony. Long-time rivals Novak Djokovic and potentially Roger Federer have shown interest in attending, although logistical challenges might prevent some stars from staying in Malaga for the duration of the event.
