‘Imminent’ end to Nadal’s career if he ‘Doesn’t win French Open,’ claims mcnamee

 

In response to Rafael Nadal’s predicament, former ATP player Paul McNamee stated that the Spaniard would probably quit tennis if he doesn’t win the French Open.

 

Early on, the Spaniard’s comeback appeared to be rather impressive. In Brisbane, he was winning a few matches and playing excellent tennis. Not long after his comeback, he suffered an injury in his third match back, which has prevented him from playing tennis to this day.

 

After making a quick trip back to Las Vegas to play Carlos Alcaraz in the Netlifx Slam, he withdrew from the Indian Wells Open right away. The intention is to retry for the upcoming clay season, which is rapidly approaching, so we’ll find out the truth soon enough.

 

Paul McNamee, a former player, sees things quite clearly. He claims that Nadal’s primary motivation for continuing to pursue a comeback is his desire to win the Roland Garros. McNamee is certain that Nadal will retire if he is unable to accomplish that.

 

After Rybakina’s withdrawal from Indian Wells, Gauff guaranteed to maintain his third-place ranking in the world.

 

“Let’s just say that it is. Rafa goes on because he still thinks he can win more Roland Garros titles, and why not? If so, he will continue to play. I believe he won’t give up while he still has a chance to tie Djokovic on 24. The end of an incredible career is approaching if he doesn’t win RG24.”

You can’t really discount it, but it is clearly a theory by McNamee and should be handled as such. With Nadal, you can’t really rule anything out because anything may happen.

 

Though we can’t predict what will happen, some scenarios are more likely than others. Though it doesn’t seem promising at the moment, in two months he could be picking up the Roland Garros trophy, and who knows what can happen after that.
