22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal has revealed that he could return to the court at next year’s Australian Open after being ruled out of the current season through injury. The Spanish veteran hinted at his return with a post on social media platform X.

This update comes days after Nadal uploaded a picture of himself on the practice court. Australian Open tournament director Craig Tiley later announced that the 37-year-old player would make his return to tennis at the first Grand Slam of the year, however, this statement has not yet been confirmed by Nadal himself. Aside from the two-time Australian Open champion, Nick Kyrgios and Naomi Osaka are also rumored to be returning to tennis at the Melbourne-based Grand Slam.

The Australian Open is the last tournament that Nadal played in. He withdrew from the tournament at the start of this year after suffering a hip injury which he went on to get surgery to remedy.

The third set offered quality tennis, with both tennis players trying to get the upper hand in the match. Eventually, the set ended in a tiebreak, with Nadal managing to get the better of Kyrgios.

Kyrgios pushed Nadal in the fourth set, which also went to a tiebreak, but eventually couldn’t get overcome the Spaniard’s explosiveness and relentlessness.

“Against Nick you are never in control,” said Nadal after the match. “If you have mistakes, then he has the break, and it’s so difficult to break him again. When he is playing like today, with a positive attitude, he gives a lot of positive things to our sport. He’s one of the highest talents that we have on our tour, and I like this Nick Kyrgios.”

Rafael Nadal will now meet Austrian Dominic Thiem, No.5 tennis player in the world, in quarterfinals. Thiem previously defeated Gael Monfils in the fourth round without losing a set.
