When Raphael Nadal He lifted two opposing sets and won the Madrid Masters final at Ivan Ljubičić in 2005, then in October, indoors, at the Madrid Arena, I did not know that I was going to be absent from the slopes for four months because of the first serious manifestation of the disease. Mller-Weiss, the chronic injury to the scaphoid of his left foot which forced him to play with special insoles. His trainer, Tony Nadal, he came to doubt his ability to continue playing tennis at the highest level. Nadal reappears in February 2006. He falls in the Marseille semi-final against Arnaud Clément then he went to the final in Dubai, where he beat Roger Federer. In the spring, he consecutively won Monte-Carlo, Barcelona, Rome and Roland Garros. He was 19 years old.
To know Mrs.

Just six points conceded with his serve: the data that supports Nadal’s hopeful return
Just six points conceded with his serve: the data that supports Nadal’s hopeful return
Nadal’s successes go hand in hand with his successive physical setbacks. The player who today, at 37, surprises us again with his return to the field after almost a year of absence, has a past full of mines, from which he always emerges in a big way. In 2012, he lost in the second round of Wimbledon to Lucas Rosol, already conditioned by the equally chronic lesion of the patellar tendon of the left knee. It lasted seven months on the breast, the second longest recovery to date.
He did not play again until the beginning of the following year, where he chose the South American clay court tour. I lost against the Argentinian Horacio Zeballos the final of Via del Mar, to win consecutively Sao Paulo (David Nalbandian), Acapulco (David Ferrer) and, already on the American fast track tour, Indian Wells (Juan Martin del Potro). Among other achievements, he would win Roland Garros and the United States Open.
The one who will aim this Friday (11:00 a.m., Movistar) for the quarter-finals of the ATP 250 in Brisbane against the Australian. Jordan Thompson55 years old, after beating the also local Jason Kubler by 6-1 and 6-2, he never dropped in the rankings until the 672nd position with which he started the tournament (now, virtually, 450). In an extremely difficult situation, due to his age and the pace imposed by his contemporaries like Novak Djokovic and young people of the stature of Carlos Alcaraz oui Jannik sinneris ready to try one more time.
SYNDROME
Muller-Weiss syndrome reared its ugly head again in 2021, during a Roland-Garros semi-final that he lost to Djokovic in four sets. Nadal lost at Wimbledon and the Tokyo Games and returned briefly to Washington, falling in the round of 16 to Lloyd Harris. He could only reappear the following season: after winning a 250 tournament in Melbourne, he reached the final of the Australian Open, with the known result: Medvedev He had a two-set advantage, 3-2 and 0-40, and ended up being beaten in five sets. The Spanish tennis player becomes the first player to win 21 Grand Slam titles, ahead of Federer and Djokovic, then with 20.
That same year, he won Roland Garros and participated in the semi-finals of Wimbledon, against whom he could not play. Nick Kyrgios after suffering an abdominal injury in quarters, compared to Taylor Fritz. Once again setbacks from which we were unable to recover in a weak result in 2022.
After the entire year 2023 out of competition, in his two matches in this Brisbane tournament, the first of them, also brilliant, against Dominique ThiemNadal not only gained enough confidence to feel competitive again, but he left the same mark as always, a very competent player who, if he does not suffer from physical problems and if he continues on this path, is ready to plead for anything. and everything, in front of everyone.
Generally speaking, I feel good. The most important thing is that I have no discomfort following muscle and hip operations, he later assured the media. For the moment, the foot is responding well and that is the main news, that the foot is not giving me any problems and I can move without limits, insisted the Spaniard, who greatly influenced the need to feel competitive, to spend hours on the slopes to find those sensations that training does not give. The tennis world, for its part, watches with admiration the man who always comes back, who seems to have done it again.
