Athletistic / Tennis. Former world number 1 and legendary Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal will not participate in the 2024 US Open. For this reason, he will not be able to surpass one of the achievements of his main rival in the career of Swiss tennis player Roger Federer.
Nadal will not be able to surpass Federer in the number of seasons with at least one victory in Grand Slam tournament matches. The Swiss has managed to win at least one TBS victory in men’s singles for 22 consecutive seasons (2000-2021). Nadal has 21 such seasons (2003-2023).

In 2024, Rafael Nadal played only one Grand Slam match: in the first round of Roland Garros, he lost to the world’s fourth-ranked tennis player, German tennis player Alexander Zverev.
There is a good chance that this season will be Nadal’s last in his professional career. He has 22 Grand Slam titles to his name, as well as two Olympic gold medals.
