Rafael Nadal has confirmed his participation in the Italian Open 2024 by arriving in Rome amid much excitement. The tennis legend’s attendance is often uncertain before each tournament as his storied career approaches its end. Despite suffering defeats in both Barcelona and Madrid, Nadal is eager to compete in as many clay court events as possible.
In an interview with Punto de Break, he stated his intentions to play and perform well in Rome, a tournament he has won 10 times. His arrival in the Italian city quashed any doubts about his participation.
Nadal had missed the Italian Open last season and the 2023 French Open due to a hip injury. The 37-year-old’s presence in Rome suggests that he is preparing in full force for this year’s French Open. The Italian Open’s official social media account has shared posts and videos documenting the star’s return and practice sessions, with the draw ceremony scheduled for May 6.
