Hoping for a comeback
Rafael Nadal nominated for Davis Cup finals
Tennis fans can continue to hope that Rafael Nadal will make a comeback at the Davis Cup finals. The 22-time Grand Slam tournament winner has been nominated for the Spanish team that will be competing for the title in the prestigious team competition at the finals from November 19 to 24 in Malaga.
In addition to the injury-plagued Nadal (38), Roberto Bautista Agut and Carlos Alcaraz as well as doubles specialists Pablo Carreno-Busta and Marcel Granollers have also been nominated.
Spain will face the Netherlands in the quarter-finals. Nadal played his last singles match to date on July 29 - at the Summer Games in Paris, he had no chance in the second round against the eventual Olympic champion Novak Djokovic.
Canceled for Laver Cap
The 14-time French Open winner recently canceled his participation in the Laver Cup last weekend in Berlin, citing his lack of match fitness as the reason. This year, he has also skipped the Grand Slam tournaments Wimbledon and the US Open. Nadal had already announced in May last year that he wanted to end his career in 2024.
