The 37-year-old player’s robust comeback has now prompted a tennis bigwig to issue a bold prediction.
After undergoing necessary surgery, the ‘King of the Clay’ is back following his season-long injury absence from the game. Reacting to his stellar return, the renowned tennis broadcaster Jason Goodall opened up about how he believes that it won’t be Nadal’s last season on the tour.

Prior to his much-awaited comeback, the Spaniard revealed that it might be his last season on the tour. However, Jason Goodall has some contradicting views on the same, as he recently explained why the sky’s the limit for Rafael Nadal if he can keep up with his fitness levels on the court.
In the latest episode of the Inside-In Podcast, Goodall talked about the 22-time singles Grand Slam champion’s recent victories at his comeback event, the Brisbane International. He also said, “But what was I think the best news was off the back of the match, he said he’s playing pain free. And he said he has been pain free for a while. So he has been able to practice at 100 percent. He has been able to practice with the best guys in the world and give it 100 percent.

If Nadal manages to stay fit, Goodall also claimed that “there’s no reason why it has to be his last season” on the tennis circuit. He added, “And I think if you’re pain free, then you can relax almost and then just concentrate on the process and on winning matches. And I think that’s where he struggles in the past when he has to play with pain. So I think that’s the best news. If he can stay pain free, if he can stay injury free, the he can manage a season and then there’s no reason why it has to be his last season.”
