Former tennis player Barbara Schett said that Rafael Nadal is unlikely to go far at the 2024 Australian Open taking place in Australia from January 14-28, 2024.
Former Austrian female tennis player Barbara Schett commented on Nadal: “Rafael Nadal cannot reach his best form when he returns. He needs matches to get used to the rhythm. Meanwhile, other players I’m sure Nadal will face many difficulties.”
Contrary to Barbara Schett’s opinion, tennis player Daniil Medvedev appreciates Nadal on big playgrounds: “It’s always very difficult to beat Nadal. For me, matches against Nadal have ended worse than matches against Djokovic, in certain aspect”.
The Russian tennis player also said that the competition at the 2024 Australian Open promises to be very fierce: “I fell out of the top 10 last season, so you can imagine the fierceness of ATP tournaments.
At the beginning of the 2023 season, Tsitsipas reached the final of the Australian Open. He and some other players can come back and beat me or anyone else.”
Meanwhile, share above Eurosportformer British tennis player Tim Henman commented on Nadal’s Grand Slam hunting goal in 2024: “Rafael does not return to reach the quarterfinals and semi-finals of tournaments. He wants to win the biggest titles of which there is a Grand Slam.
Rafael Nadal’s form at the beginning of the 2024 season will show whether he is capable of winning more titles or not.”
