Rafael Nadal and Emma Raducanu have an eye on Wimbledon 2024

Rafael Nadal is getting ready for a titanic struggle against Sascha Zverev at Roland Garros on Sunday.
But behind the scenes the legendary Spaniard has been thinking beyond Paris.
Rafael Nadal has one eye on Wimbledon 2024! The great man has entered the tournament already!
That’s not to suggest for a moment that Rafa isn’t currently focused on his happiest hunting ground in the French capital.
Zverev will command all Nadal’s attention this weekend. The older man wants to go out in style at the French Open – even if it has to be early.
But realistically it seems that Nadal’s chances of playing Wimbledon 2024 have dramatically increased.
For months we have dared to hope that Rafael Nadal will play Wimbledon 2024 – but never gone as far as promising to deliver that dream.
Even now, nothing is certain – because it’s always possible Rafa could break down physically during the Zverev showdown.
However, the most likely scenario is that Nadal will come through that match in one piece – yet sadly find himself outgunned by the German.
That would leave Rafa fresh for the English grass and wanting to bid farewell to his fans at Wimbledon 2024 in style.
Remember, the last time he bowed out at Wimbledon was due to an abdominal injury, just before his semi-final against Nick Kyrgios in 2022. He wants a more fitting goodbye in London.
Meanwhile Emma Raducanu has skipped Roland Garros completely – with Wimbledon 2024 firmly in mind.
She has explained that she prefers to train for the main challenges ahead. Emma said: ‘It’s important for me to keep laying the foundations and I will use the time to do a healthy block before the grass and subsequent hardcourt seasons.’
If Emma Raducanu has to battle through the qualifiers at Wimbledon 2024, she won’t be afraid to do so. She has won a Grand Slam the hard way before – at Flushing Meadows!
Rafael Nadal and Emma Raducanu could soon be playing on Centre Court at Wimbledon 2024!
