Rafael Nadal was busy making preparations to welcome his first child for the past few months before finally welcoming his son in October. However, one question that looms in the mind of Rafa’s fans is, when will he return to court? But there is another query that has been making rounds in the mind of tennis fans, maybe not necessarily Rafa fans. What does 2023 hold in store for the 22-time Grand Slam champion?

Recently, The Tennis Podcast put out an open-ended question for tennis fans concerning the Spanish legend’s career in 2023. The answers to that question were surprising, to say the least.

What do tennis fans have to say about Rafael Nadal in 2023?

The 22-time Grand Slam champion had a very rewarding 2022. He claimed the Australian Open and his 14th Roland Garros title while also reaching the semifinals at the Wimbledon Championships, only to bow due to a recurring foot injury. This major winning streak of the 36-year-old makes him one of the favorites for the major titles in the ATP 2023 season. However, tennis fans have some polarizing views regarding the fast approaching 2023 season.

And the very first view of a fan was, “Retire.”
