Goodbye Rafael Nadal (probably), Andy Murray's French Open decision and a look back at the Italian Open
Rafael Nadal has announced that he will miss the French Open through injury and will spend several months away from the tennis court.
Nadal wants to give his hip as much time as possible to heal because 2024 will probably be his last season.
He said: “I’m going to try to make my last year not just a party, I'm going to try to compete at the highest level, give myself the option to try to compete and win tournaments on this clay tour. The reality is that we'll have to wait for that."
