An interesting comparison of Nadal’s return to the field with the legend of French football

According to Fars news agency, Rafael Nadal announced that he will return to professional tennis by participating in the Brisbane International next year. Nadal has been out of action since January due to a hip injury he suffered at the 2023 Australian Open.

The 22-time Grand Slam champion’s last loss came to Mackenzie MacDonald of the United States in the second round of the Melbourne Slam. The Spanish tennis star then underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair his injury.

The 37-year-old is apparently on the mend and will be looking to return to action in January 2024.

These words of Nadal have met with a lot of noise from fans and experts. In fact, the Spaniard has been featured on the front page of the leading French sports weekly, with the headline: “He’s coming back.”

The interesting thing is that Zinedine Zidane, the legend of French football, was given exactly the same title before the French competition in the 2006 World Cup. After retiring from international football in 2004, Zizou returned to France as captain.
