Rafael Nadal is the author of an exceptional start to the season. Fresh from a long stop due to injury, there were no great expectations of him in these first months of 2022. Many believed that the Spaniard's career was almost over, considering that Rafa had played just seven tournaments. officers last year. The former world number 1 clinched the Melbourne ATP 250, gaining the confidence to break the bank at the Australian Open. In a tournament that had often been hostile to him in the past, the 35-year-old from Manacor achieved one of the most unexpected feats of his entire career. After surviving two real battles against Denis Shapovalov and Matteo Berrettini, the Iberian came back two sets behind Daniil Medvedev in the final. Thanks to that triumph, Nadal overtook Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic in the all-time rankings of the Majors. The Majorcan also became the fourth man in history to have won all Slams at least twice (along with Djokovic, Rod Laver and Roy Emerson).
Rafa Nadal will skip the Barcelona Open“Rafael Nadal has just been withdrawn from the entry list in Barcelona,” his team told Reuters. “We don’t know yet when he will be at his first tournament on clay this year. Hopefully, soon.” Rafael Nadal has won the Barcelona Open a whopping 12 times. The next most successful players are Mats Wilander, Roy Emerson, and Manuel Orantes, each of whom has lifted the title on three occasions. More impressively, the Mallorcan has never lost a final at the Barcelona Open, meaning he has won all 12 of the summit clashes he has played in his home event. These years have been fantastic for Nadal as well. He had the best start to the season, whereby he won 19 consecutive matches, and three titles along with it. Returning from an injury that kept him out for 6 months, he won at the Melbourne Summer Set against Maxime Cressy. He then took part in the Australian Open, his least successful tournament so far, and won his 21st Grand Slam. Nadal thus became the only man in the ATP tour so far to win 21 Grand Slams. He repeated his winning streak at Acapulco as well, picking up his 91 ATP tour-level title. It was revealed recently that his injury will not allow him to play in the Barcelona Open, where he has won a record 12 times. He has already missed the Monte Carlo Masters, which is underway currently. As per reports, Nadal is slated to be back on the tour in Madrid.
