Rafael Nadal has provided an update on the injury he picked up at the 2023 Australian Open.
Our champ took to Twitter to confirm the timeline of his injury, adding that they will reassess his injury in a period of three weeks.
“Today I have been at the Tecknon Tennis Clinic in Barcelona where they have carried out some tests on me. The Melbourne results are confirmed and the deadlines remain the same. Established the treatments to follow and in 3 weeks they will perform new tests to see the evolution,” Rafa posted on Twitter.
With the latest injury, Rafa will most likely drop out from the top-10 for the first time since April 2005.
I’d love for Rafa to recover completely and then come back to the European clay courts.
Rafa has nothing else to prove but I believe he can continue to be competitive and win, which is all he wants because he loves the sport.
We LOVE you, Rafa! And we believe you can continue to create magic out there with more tennis titles and majors!! Keep going and Vamos!!! 💯🍎👍💪👏🎉
Me too, Cindy.
Wishing Rafa only the best and looking forward to his return whenever he is ready! 👏🙂🏆
It’s a common courtesy to acknowledge when a record is tie or broken. Nadal must acknowledge Djokovic or his credibility will be questioned later. That courtesy happened when Nadal tied Federer. The courtesy happened when Nadal got his 21st. It happened in hockey, football, baseball and every major sports. In hockey, Gordie Howe followed Gretzky for a month before Gretzky tied and broke the points record. Or Esposito followed Gretzky when he tied and broke the goals record for one season.
young voter = Maria the snake = J Beer = trash at Djokovic’s feet.
And how do you know Rafa hasn’t?
young voter, you must realize that NO ONE wants to see you posting here. Go away and kiss djokovic’s toes and hamstring since you apparently fantasize about him all the time.
Bring Maria Snake and J Beer with you, so you can all make your fantasies come true in djokovic’s presence.
Hahahahahaha! Can’t stop laughing about how perverse the three of you are young voter, Maria the snake, and J Beer.
That’s your problem, “tolerant” normies. What you want does not matter, it is my opinion and whether I express it or not is my business. “We don’t want”. Lol. Go live in your globalist world of one opinion, bunch of sad slaves.
J Beer = Maria Snake = young voter = trash at djokovic’s feet
Haha!
I think Nadal should send a congratulatory message to Djokovic for equalling his slam record. It’s not only the right thing to do. It’s the only thing he should do.
young voter, you don’t belong on this Rafa Nadal fan site.
Drag your lowly self, Maria the Snake, and J Beer to the Djoker.
I wholly endorse what you and others have said regarding Young Voter, Maria the Snake and J Beer, Tom. There are others too that don’t belong on this site but let’s focus on these three for now. They are not and never have been Rafafans. They should therefore be banned from this site, which is for Rafafans.
Genuine fans have had enough of their vitriol and unfounded criticism of Rafa. Those who are responsible for ‘policing’ this site should act NOW. We are all sick and tired of these TROLLS for that is what they are. Please ban them from this site now and allow the rest of us to share our enthusiasm and support for Rafa. That is the purpose of this site after all.
The time for sitting on the fence over this has LONG since passed!
Thank you.
young voter, if you are so obsessed with djoker, go to his site. No one cares what you write. You don’t belong here. This is a Rafa Nadal Fan Site.
What a shame you are.
young voter, or shall I call you a provoker and instigator of Rafa and Rafa Fans?
Rafa never cared about the grand slam race. Rafa has always said that he has won more than he has ever dreamed. Rafa is a realist.
There is no athlete as deceitful as Djokovic. Who would strike a lines woman during a US open match, throw his racquets to narrowly miss people during a match, withdraw from a mixed doubles Olympics match and throw his female doubles partner Nina under the bus, and attack the Olympic rings? Only djokovic would do these disgusting things for the world to see. Who cares how many titles he has won or the number of records he will break? He is a sicko and mentally ill person who will do anything to break records. Such a foul disgrace. Djoker is full of hubris and duplicity.
young voter, we DEMAND that you never come back to this site since you write this stuff to continue to provoke us. Drag Maria the Snake and J Beer away with you. 😠
young voter, you and maria the snake and J Beer all belong together (at the bottom of djoker’s feet).
This site is for Rafa fans.
Those who obsess over djoker like you should never come back to this site.
J Beer, it’s clear that you love to stir up controversy just like Maria the Snake, J Beer, and Djokovic. Ugh!
young voter = Maria the snake = J Beer = trash at Djokovic’s feet.
Haha, what a joke!
I completely agree with you, Lenny.
Young Voter… I really hate to dignify you with an answer but you need to be corrected. For your information Rafa, Roger & Novak always congratulate each other on their latest achievements… before you post such ignorant statements you need to do your homework There really is no bad blood between Rafa and Novak. It’s only you the Snake and the Beer who tries to conjure up bad brew between them. You three are bad hateful people …There is a lot of unhappiness in this world and for you to come to this site where there is a lot of love and try your hardest to upset the harmony is just plain hateful. You must have a very boring life! Why not find a site where you can post your fondness for Novak …it might make you feel better about yourself!
Karma. Vaxdal who wants to exclude people with sick medical tyranny, and his anti-bodily autonomy stance, is losing the GS record. Roland Garros up next. The tru Greatest is also great on the inside. The mind. Something Vaxdal turned out not to be at all..
J Beer, or shall I call you a provoker and instigator of Rafa and Rafa Fans?

J Beer, you are heinous and foul. It’s clear that you love to stir up controversy just like Maria the Snake and Djokovic. Ugh!
J Beer, you don’t belong on this Rafa Nadal fan site with your hateful rhetoric.
Drag your lowly self, Maria the Snake, and young voter to the Djoker.
It’s a shame that J Beer, Maria the Snake, and young voter continue to antagonize Rafa and Rafa’s fans on this site.
It’s a shame the djoker brought so much controversy and disgrace to himself and tennis. He will do anything, including sinning and lying about fake injuries, to win.
On the other hand, Rafa and Federer brought so much popularity to the sport of tennis, and will continue to be loved by the world.
J Beer, you must realize that NO ONE wants to see you posting here. Go away and kiss djokovic’s toes and hamstring since you apparently fantasize about him all the time.
Bring Maria Snake and young voter with you, so you can all make your fantasies come true in djokovic’s presence.
Hahahahahaha! Can’t stop laughing about how perverse the three of you are young voter, Maria the snake, and J Beer.
I hope this is injury proves to be a blessing in disguise for Rafa. There are so many parts of his game that he has massively improved over the course of his career, latest example being his volleying skills. I really wish, once he recovers from the injury, that he takes some time to improve his serve. That’s one shot that has always been a little bit his weakness and at this stage of his career, when he can’t rely so much on his movement, getting some easy points on serve would greatly help him. He had a killer serve in US Open 2010 when he changed the grip. Maybe try something similar?
Vamos Rafa. Hope you return physically and mentally recharged in the clay court swing. \m/
Btw where’s Marileena? I used to love her uplifting comments but haven’t seen those in a while.
Now Rafa has to win Roland Garros 2023. Vamos Rafa.
He doesn’t “have” to do any such thing although it would be nice. Even if he never wins another match he has cemented his legacy. True Rafa fans care about his health and quality of life and are not trying to pressure him in any way. He should come back if or when he is fully ready.
I completely agree with you, Mark.
Rafa will listen to his body and mind, and Rafa does not need to do anything that others say.
Well said, Mark.👍
Rafa will be remembered as a good person and one of tennis’ greatest stars when he retires.
It’s terrible that snake is allowed to write here. But ……. Djokovic is unfortunately very strong. Not because his tennis is so great but he’s physically and mentally very fit. Injuries don’t come to him – hardly. Judging from today D could go on playing for years to come. Terrible thought. Wish he was wiped out. I haven’t watched him even once in I don’t know how long. Probably last when he lost against Rafa in the FO.
D will be aiming to win all 4 majors this year. There are players who are very talented – more than D but somehow lacking in other departments- like Kyrgios for example.
For us fans Rafa will always be on top – the best in every way! Wish he would return completely healed and fit in all ways possible.
VAMOS Rafa!!!! We love you!
Rafa, best wishes to get well soon and return to your best during the clay season!
Please take it easy and enjoy your time off with your precious family and friends.
We missed seeing you most of the 2022 clay season but we’re so glad that you won your 14th Roland garros title last year!!
We can’t wait to see you back on the tennis court when you are ready to compete at your best again!!! 😃💪🎾❤️🏆
Hello Margo! Happy New Year to you as well! I was searching for your posts and was starting to get worried! I don’t comment that much anymore either but when the snake and the young voter start berating Rafa on this site it brings the mama bear out of me! This has been a terrible AO so many injuries that it’s made an easy path for ND to win his 22 GS. I’m not going to watch! I have put my prayers in already for Stefano to win but ND is on a mission and most likely will win 🥱 Hopefully Rafa will play IW but not sure as of yet! Take good care Margo and so happy to see your post!
Tsitsipas is the last one left in the draw who could stop Djokovic from winning the AO title this year. I sure hope Tsitsipas finds his best tennis to beat that bad person. Tsitsipas is over 10 years younger than the evil jerk, so if this goes 5 sets, he will have the edge over hamstring faker.
That’s a appropriate nickname for evil djoker: hamstring faker!
Tsitsipas can still defeat djoker. It is not impossible. Let’s see what happens.
Get well soon Rafa❤️
Novak Djokovic will win his 10th AO Title tomorrow as i accurately predicted earlier and nothing on earth can stop him. Tomorrow also, he will at last equal Rafa’s short-lived record of 22 GS titles. Thus, Djokovic will show Rafa that it was totally wrong for jealous Rafa to hatefully describe his ordeal at last year ‘s AO as ”a circus” when the whole world knows that it was his (Djokovic’s) abscence that ultimately paved the way for Rafa to win his 2nd AO title and 22nd GS.
It is also remarkable to note that Rafa has never ever beaten Djokovic at Melbourne whereas Djokovic has beaten Rafa 2ce at Roland Garros and still counting!!!
From every records on earth, Novak Djokovic is the clear G.O.A.T of all ages till eternity.
As it is and after tomorrow, while Rafa will end his injury-prone career with 22 GS, Novak will go on to win a total haul of 27 GS titles – a record that no homo sapien will ever match.
You’re delusional
Snake breath, you’re despicable, delusional, and disgusting.
Now go back to the hole you slept in, so a zookeeper can put a giant boulder on to prevent you from ever emerging here again.
You prediction is wrong because you said zverev would make the aussie open final.
Boo!
Maria Snake, go away. This is a Rafa Fan Site.
You don’t belong here.
You are so sad and pitiful.
If you worship that evil Djoker so much, go to his fan site and bite his feet or hamstring. He would enjoy your poison because his leg sure isn’t hurting with his fake injury.
Don’t forget that an ill-timed injury could end the career of evil Djoker.
Dirty Snake, I’d gladly get some mouthwash and alcohol to clean your dirty mouth and purify your polluted brain.
You dumb numbskull reptile.
Rafa crushed Djoker so many times at Roland Garros. Don’t forget the 6-0 6-2 drubbing in the 2020 French Open final.
Rafa has only played Djoker very few times in melbourne.
What have you been smoking to be so delusional?
Very perceptive comment, Judy!
Rafa played Djoker 9 times at Roland Garros, winning 7 times and causing that creepy Djoker a lot of anguish.
The 2 times that Rafa lost to Djokey in melbourne (both were in Australian Open finals), he was injured or not playing his best level. The first time they played the Australian Open final lasted almost 6 hours and could have gone either way.
So, taking both events together, Rafa leads the series 7-4.
This mentally ill snake is trying to distort the truth.
Rafa has 14 Roland garros titles and no one will ever come close.
Bad Djoker only has 9 Melbourne titles.
What are you comparing, you silly reptile? You must not know that 14 is way better than 9.
Well stated, Trinda.
Rafa can still win more Roland garros titles. Do it can continue to grow above 14!
Stupid snake, I don’t care what you think because it is gibberish and garbage in Rafa fans’ minds.
Don’t forget that snakes have some of the tiniest brains among animals. They just go blah blah blah and make utter nonsense.
Have you had enough thrashing from Rafa fans yet to understand how delusional you are, Maria Snake ?
Such a sad being just like djoker trash.
Snake dingbat,
Your mind is pure evil just like your djokovic.
I don’t even care what you blabber.
Well said, Crissy!
That Maria snake just continues to show up here and speak foolishly and stupidly.
We don’t need such negativity from said snake to try to cut us down and make us feel bad.
Maria Snake, you are trash and garbage just like Novak Djokovic.
You spend your days making disgrace and misery of yourself.
Now banish away so you and Djokovic can ache and cling together all day and night.
I am sick and tired of seeing the same trash you write on this site.
I see why Maria snake is so pro Novak djokovic. Maria snake and Novak djokovic are both disgraceful, creepy, evil, delusional, greedy, selfish, vindictive, and angry.
Snake…such a fitting name for you! It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that ND would end up winning the (not yet) 2023 AO. Most player that can beat him are injured . you seem to be basking in the glory of Rafa losing- you bask alone. Rafa fans believe that winning is not the most important issue but to win with integrity and honesty is as equally important. You have been on this site for many years …you always post the most unkind words about Rafa who is the most beloved athlete along the side with Roger. No matter if ND ends up with the most GS he will never be as popular or beloved as much as Rafa . ND is a very talented player no one can take that away from him… but with his lack of sportsmanship and his arrogance…he is way down the list! Last year ND tried to lie and cheat his way into the AO not caring if he would spread a deadly virus to his fans and even his family . His antics at the Olympics were disgraceful. Throwing tantrums smashing his rackets and cursing with the whole world watching . What kind of role model is he? I would say a lousy one! You haven’t and never will see Rafa behave that way … it just isn’t in biological make up. Rafa is a true champion… he is humble in both victory and defeat . If you’re so enamored by ND why don’t you find his fan site and spit your venom over there ( Ps …take Young Voter with ya)! Rafa is the GOAT! ❤️❤️❤️Rafa!
That’s right, Ziggy. I completely agree.
We adore Rafa for his humility, strength, determination and champion qualities and will continue to support him in the future.
Rafa is a role model to so many current and future tennis players around the world, as well as in other sports. Kids want to learn to be like Rafa!
Rafa brought so much hope and joy to us all during his amazing career. He is genuine, honest, and humble.
Rafa is all class and very well respected by all over the world.
We admire and love Rafa! Nothing will change that!!😃🍾🎾❤️🎁
There is no athlete as deceitful as djokovic. Who would strike a lines woman during a uS open match, throw his racquets to narrowly miss people during a match, withdraw from a mixed doubles Olympics match and throw his female doubles partner under the bus, and attack the Olympic rings? Only djokovic would do these disgusting things for the world to see. Who cares how many titles he has won or the number of records he will break? He is a sicko and mentally ill person who will do anything to break records. Such a foul disgrace.
Maria the snake, we demand that you never come back to this site for all the wrongs you have done in this site. 😠
Hi Ziggy and Happy New Year. Good to see you here. I haven’t commented in a while. Just missing Rafa and hope he has a great recovery. Let’s see.
As Rafa has said countless times, he does not care about the race for most slams. He just loves playing tennis and as long as he feels competitive, he will continue to keep playing.
Your hideous message is uncalled for and who cares what you say?
I am glad so many Rafa fans here have exposed you for the junk you have written. Now disappear and never return. We don’t want you to waste our time.
Novak djokovic will forever be despised no matter what records he has. Djoker is a selfish, greedy, and vengeful being who is a dishonest faker filled with hubris.
On the other hand, Rafa will be loved and respected forever. Rafa is 100% authentic and humble.
Maria snake, you are the most vile and shameful thing just like your djokovic obsession.
Maria the snake, you and djoker belong together.
This site is for Rafa fans.
Those who obsess over djoker should never come back to this site to say unkind words about rafa.
Maria the snake, you are heinous and foul. It’s clear that you love to stir up controversy just like djokovic. Ugh!
Maria the snake, or shall I call you blabber mouth, what possessed you to speak so much vile evil? No one wants you here. Good bye and good riddance.
Hi Tom, thanks for telling the snake to never come back here. Much better days ahead if we don’t have to deal with that head case.
Don’t forget that djokovic won his first French open due to Rafa’s absence. Rafa prevented that jerk from getting his first French open for ages and gave that stinking liar and unethical being a chance. Touché!
Djokobitch, to add to the things above, is also a brazen cheater, plague carrier who doesn’t care and extremely aggressive (in all the wrong ways), breaking racquets and blasting balls at ball kids. He’s a disgrace to the sport. He doesn’t have an honourable or nice bone in his body. Very bad role model.
Rafa, get well soon,enjoy time with yr family😊
You are missed Rafa. You have a strong woman in your cornet!! You also have a baby boy that will keep you busy when you are not away from home.
Love you heaps champ xxxxx
The comment I made earlier, about you getting better soon. It was nothing to do with tennis. It just really saddens me to think of you being in constant pain.
Sad sad news. Please get better soon, Rafa. You’re my hero. I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
