Rafael Nadal will make his big return to the courts on the night of Monday to Tuesday after almost a year off. In Brisbane, the Spanish player, now recovered from his injuries, will face Dominic Thiem for his entry into the competition. “Rafa”, aged 37, has won the Roland-Garros tournament 14 times, who was delighted with this resumption because last year, the Majorcan had to withdraw.
In a tweet posted online this Sunday, the organizers celebrated this good news by publishing a futuristic drawing where we see Nadal, intubated and placed in a sort of regeneration liquid allowing him to heal himself. The greatest clay court player in history wakes up and utters the phrase: “It’s comeback time!” “The wait is over”, we can read in the caption of this illustration.
