RAFAEL NADAL ON CRUTCHES AND STILL: BREAKING NEWS
In his reflections following Rafael Nadal’s most recent Grand Slam triumph, Casper Ruud recalled how Nadal persevered through severe agony during the competition. The Norwegian celebrity disclosed that the day following their last meeting, Nadal was unable to walk and was on crutches despite being given local anaesthetic to play matches. Ruud was astounded by Nadal’s incredible effort to win the event and called it “crazy.”
With a commanding victory against Ruud in the 2022 French Open final, Nadal set a new record by winning his 14th Roland Garros title. Nadal defeated opponents like Felix Auger-Aliassime, Novak Djokovic, and Alexander Zverev on his way to the title despite battling injury concerns. Mueller-Weiss syndrome, a persistent foot ailment that affects Nadal, has proven especially bothersome during the competition.
Ruud talked about Rafael Nadal’s incredible win on the UTS Talk Show with Dominic Thiem and Alex de Minaur, highlighting the Spaniard’s fortitude in spite of his physical difficulties. Ruud brought up Nadal’s usage of local anaesthetic and his trouble getting around after games, emphasizing how committed the player was to competing.
Ruud also praised Rafael Nadal for his unparalleled mastery at the French Open, pointing out his perfect record there as well as his lifetime low of defeats at Roland Garros. Ruud called Rafael Nadal’s record of 14 French Open victories and his total success at the tournament “unbelievable” and “secure for the next century,” expressing doubt that they will be surpassed in the near future.
