It would be great for tennis if he and Djokovic could continue to play as long as they want to.

In a message posted in early December on Instagram, Nadal made his intentions for 2024 clear, starting with the difficulties of the season that just ended: "In many moments I thought it was over – his words. I played for many years and to see initially that the results of the work done were not coming è it was tough".
