Rafael Nadal, the king of Spain
"Why did I retire at the 2022 French Open? I don't understand, should I retire just because I won the French Open? Nadal recently said in an interview with French media: "I also won the Australian Open that year, although I had injuries in Indian Springs and Wimbledon, if it weren't for these accidents, I think I could win Wimbledon, but it doesn't make sense to always play such a hypothetical game." ”
In response to the doubts, Nadal said: "If you ask me today, I would say, yes, I will retire after the 2022 French Open, but if I was at my peak and still enjoying the joy of tennis, how could I retire. ”
Nadal said that there was a tricky foot injury during the French Open, but then the situation improved, but then the injuries followed, Wimbledon abdominal muscle tear, the US Open relapsed again, and the 2023 Australian Open suffered a hip problem, "I knew it would be like this, I must have retired at that time, but who can predict the future, in 2022 I am fighting for the world No. 1, and I won the first two Grand Slams, almost completing the three consecutive championships, what reason is there to retire?" ”
