After a break from his injury, the Spaniard made a comeback with this exhibition event that took place in Abu Dhabi and Kuwait. The player lost to Andy Murray and Denis Shapovalov and has not been happy on the sporting event since his injuries.

“I am having some unpleasant moments but I hope that I will improve little by little,” tweeted Nadal.

Rafael Nadal was last seen at Roland Garros where he lost the semi-final bout following the foot injury, due to which he had to remain out of active sporting events. He even pulled out of Wimbledon, Tokyo Olympics and the US Open due to his foot injury.
