Rafael Nadal's future at the French Open is in question after a defeat to Alexander Zverev at Roland Garros 2024. Despite a strong practice week, Nadal, unseeded due to injury, faced the world No. 4 and lost 6-3, 7-6(5), 6-3. The match featured glimpses of Nadal's former brilliance, but Zverev's recent form proved too strong.
Zverev displayed composure and grace throughout the match, ultimately securing a significant victory over the tennis legend. Nadal, though disappointed, acknowledged his inconsistent play, attributing it to a lack of recent competitive matches.
Nadal's future remains uncertain as he focuses on recovery. He has hinted at possibly skipping Wimbledon and aims to assess his condition post-Olympics before making any retirement decisions. The tennis world now watches closely to see if Nadal will return to compete for the Coupe des Mousquetaires again.
