After nearly two decades, Rafael Nadal is back in Bastad. The Spaniard enjoyed his first practice at the Nordea Open, where he will compete next week as a wild card at the ATP 250. Nadal arrived in Sweden with his wife, Maria Francisca Perello, and their baby son, Rafael Jr.
Nadal, a former No. 1 in the ATP Rankings, greeted fans and practiced in Sweden. The 38-year-old is a former champion in Bastad, having triumphed during his last appearance in 2005.
Nadal, who has hinted that 2024 may be his final season, will be playing his first competitive match since his first-round defeat to Alexander Zverev at Roland Garros on May 27. This season, he has a 7-5 record, with his best result being a fourth-round run in Madrid.
The field in Bastad includes World No. 6 Andrey Rublev, the top seed and defending champion, as well as World No. 8 Casper Ruud, Cameron Norrie, and Tallon Griekspoor.
