As the sun sets on the glittering career of Rafael Nadal, is there enough left in the tank for one last push for an unlikely record-extending 15th French Open title?
Nadal is no stranger to long battles, no more so than against injury throughout his illustrious career. His most recent issues saw him miss a chunk of 2023 due to a hip injury, to go with issues with his foot, his knees, and the tremendous toll his body takes due to his aggressively athletic style of play. As the build-up on clay continues towards the second Slam of the year, fans will dare to hope that Nadal will extend his historic run of titles in Paris at the French Open.

Over the course of a career that saw the Spaniard surpass Roger Federer's haul of 20 Grand Slam titles, Nadal will look to win a record-extending 15th Roland Garros title, to take him to 23 Slams - just one behind Novak Djokovic.
