After a challenging loss to Novak Djokovic in the second round of the 2024 Paris Olympics men’s singles, Rafael Nadal, a 22-time Grand Slam winner and two-time Olympic gold medalist, hinted at a forthcoming decision about his future in tennis.

Nadal fought back valiantly from a 4-0 deficit to 4-4 in the second set against Djokovic but ultimately lost 6-1, 6-4. Reflecting on his performance, Nadal stated, “When this tournament is over, I will make the necessary decisions based on my feelings and sensations.”

Rafa Nadal was asked if his loss at Olympics was a farewell to Paris, ‘I can’t think about that all day… When the Olympics are over, I will make the decision… if I know longer want to play, I will let you know & that’s it’

Novak Djokovic emerged victorious in what might be the showdown of their storied rivalry, unfolding under clear Paris skies at Roland Garros. Despite his historic dominance on clay and a hopeful crowd at Roland Garros, Nadal, now 38 and ranked 161st globally, acknowledged his diminishing competitiveness due to age and injuries. This acknowledgement came after a particularly tough first set, where Djokovic prevailed 6-1.

However, Nadal rallied impressively in the second set, breaking Djokovic twice to even the score at 4-4, demonstrating flashes of his former prowess. Despite his efforts, Djokovic secured the win, and the two legends shared a poignant moment at the net, acknowledging their long and respected rivalry.

Reflecting on their enduring competition, Djokovic expressed relief at his victory and marvelled at the longevity of their rivalry, noting, “I never thought back in 2006 that we’d still be playing each other almost 20 years later.”

Candid about his physical challenges, Nadal remarked on his condition: “I do not have the legs of 20 years ago.” His decision regarding his career will be made post-Olympics based on his physical health and emotional readiness to continue competing at the highest level.
