Rafael Nadal is back for more at Roland-Garros, with his career poised on a knife edge – and the tennis world could not be more excited.

The 38-year-old has continued to send mixed messages about when he plans to retire, despite many believing this would be his last dance on the grand stage.

While his first-round exit to Alexander Zverev in the French Open at the end of May certainly felt like a swan song, Nadal failed to rule out an encore in 2025.

Whatever he decides to do in the future, his appearance at the Olympic Games in 2024 will bring a smile to faces across the globe.
