Legendary tennis star Rafael Nadal will not compete in the 2023 French Open due to a hip injury that has kept him out since the Australian Open in January.
According to CNN’s Matias Grez, the 36-year-old Nadal announced his withdrawal from the tournament Thursday and added that 2024 will be his final year as a professional tennis player.
Nadal also said he will be out for the next “few months,” meaning he will not only miss the French Open, which starts May 28, but will likely also miss Wimbledon in July.
