Will Rafael Nadal ever play the US Open again? It’s looking highly unlikely. The tournament just announced the 38-year-old will skip the final Grand Slam of the 2024 calendar further signaling that his playing days are nearly over.

Nadal one match at the French, then skipped the grass, made a final in Sweden before falling to Novak Djokovic last week in Paris.

He hasn’t set a retirement date yet and never committed to the U.S. hard court summer, but his next scheduled event is the Laver Cup which may or may not be the end.


Nadal is a 2-time US Open winner completing his Golden Career Slam at the 2010 event. He has only played in New York once now in five years, that coming in a fourth round loss in 2022 to Frances Tiafoe.

No surprise here. He did not look good at the Olympics. He wasn’t moving well at all. Sad. He would most likely have GS all time record if not for his injury riddled career.

“He would most likely have GS all time record if not for his injury riddled career.” and those injuries didn’t stopped him from playing and sweeping most of the CC tournaments and titles?!😂

Less slams, less ATP finals, less Masters 1000’s, less weeks #1, less YE#1, loser in head-to-heads against both Novak and Rafa, less Olympic medals, and less in many, many, many other metrics but Roger’s the GOAT … reality’s not your strong area is it?


Alison hodge Says:

Happy birthday to Roger Federer Swiss maestro 🎂😀


Alison hodge Says:

Rafas been playing tennis since he was around 14,to be honest I’m not expecting anything more from him, it’s a shame when a sports legend comes to the end, but inevitable, Skeezer is right he didn’t look right at the Olympics, so pulling out of the USO comes as no surprise, best of luck Rafa VAMOS 😀


skeezer Says:

Fantastic win USA over Serbia. Another medal is coming!


Alison hodge Says:

You need to correct some facts a bit more TX, Nadal has won the USO 4 times not twice, beat Novak twice, Anderson,and Medvedev


Alison hodge Says:

2010,2013,2017,2019
