Rafael Nadal is set to return to the sport at Brisbane International in 2024. His comeback is highly anticipated, with many tennis personalities weighing in about what he could achieve. His uncle also recently talked about his game and said that he will play the full calendar year instead of a shortened one. Novak Djokovic fans read the statement and were not happy with what was said by Rafa’s childhood coach.

Rafa’s uncle has often been at odds with the Djoker fans. One can see several instances where his comments blow up and serve to upset the fans of the 24-time grand slam champion.

Novak Djokovic fans hound Rafael Nadal’s uncle

Toni Nadal recently talked about his nephew’s return to professional tennis. The King of Clay has been out since January, and he is about to return to the sport and set fire to it one last time. Toni said that if he wasn’t healthy, he would stop at the Olympics or the French Open. But if he was healthy, he would finish the calendar year. His comment did not go well with fans of the Djoker as they went on to hound the comments. 

One big fan of the Djoker sarcastically said that people should stop what they’re doing because Rafa was going to win all slams in 2024.
