Rafael Nadal is still thinking about his future career after a difficult 2024 season. Although the Spanish champion has not yet made a decision on his retirement, he has reportedly shared his thoughts on the future with his friend and rival Roger Federer.
During his appearance on the American show Today Showalongside Stephen Curry, Federer made an interesting revelation about Nadal. The Swiss spoke about Rafa’s current situation, who had not had the expected summer with a defeat in the first round of Roland Garros, and another in the second at the Olympic Games, against Novak Djokovic. With great empathy, Federer said:
“I spoke to him last week. He wanted to ask me something, we talked and I felt a little sorry for him that his summer didn’t go as well as he expected because he had a tough draw at Roland Garros. At the Olympics, he had a tough draw as well. He was hoping, I think, to get a medal. But you know, overall, he can do whatever he wants. He’s been one of the most iconic tennis players in our sport and that’s what I told him. I just hope he can leave the way he wants, but he’s a great man, with a great career.”
