Rafael Nadal entered Tuesday with a protected seed in the US Open, which will be held in New York from August 26 to September 8.
Four-time winner at Flushing Meadows, being included in this list of “greats” does not automatically mean that he will play because his schedule this year has gone from tournament to tournament and depends above all on his feelings and physical condition on the court.
If she finally plays, it will be her first time at the US Open since 2022, the year she lost in the quarterfinals to Frances Tiafoe.
Nadal, who missed Wimbledon, returned to singles action on Tuesday with a 6-3, 6-4 first-round win over Swede Leo Borg, son of tennis legend Bjorn Borg, at the clay-court tournament in Bastad, Sweden.
The Spaniard is now focusing on his preparations for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Also on the US Open roster are compatriot Carlos Alcaraz, winner of the 2022 US Open and champion of Roland Garros and Wimbledon this year, as well as Serbian Novak Djokovic and Italian Jannik Sinner.
