Former world number two junior Anastasia Pivovarova has suggested that in the near future the Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal will leave the sport.
On Thursday, May 27, Nadal lost to world number four Alexander Zverev in the first round of Roland Garros.
— I think so, Rafael Nadal will retire. I would like to believe that we will see at least a few more brilliant and interesting matches in which he will win. It is not very pleasant to see him fall in the first rounds.
The match against Alexander Zverev in the first round of Roland Garros was very dramatic. Two very strong players met. Moreover, Nadal is the king of clay, who was returning from an injury, but then gained confidence and good shape. Everyone, without exception, was very sad to see such a situation on the grid.
I don’t think Rafa will show brighter results, but at least for a short time I would like to watch him, watch his beautiful game and fight,” Pivovarova shared with Gazeta.Ru.
The athlete has won Roland Garros 14 times, the last time in 2022.
