Nadal ready ‘to die’ to return to his tennis peak

Spain’s Rafael Nadal returns to Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime during their round-robin match on November 15, 2022 at the ATP Finals tennis tournament in Turin. AFPPIX: Rafael Nadal says he is “going to die” trying to return to the level of tennis that saw him capture a record 22 Grand Slam singles titles after his hopes of a first-ever ATP Finals title and becoming year end world number one were extinguished on Tuesday.

Nadal needed to win the year-end title for the first time in his trophy-laden career to have a chance of preventing Alcaraz from finishing number one. “And I don’t know if I am going to reach that level again. But what I don’t have any doubt, that I going to die for it.” Auger-Aliassime, by contrast, made no mistake breaking the Spaniard with the only one he was offered.

Auger-Aliassime took the match by the scruff of the neck as he broke Nadal at 1-1, the Spaniard sending a loose volley long.
