Rafael Nadal: What Is His Injury And How Soon Can The Spaniard Return?

June 2022 will be remembered by sports fans as the month Rafael Nadal reached his slam No.22.It will also be remembered as the month when tennis fans were hungry to know about Müller-Weiss syndrome, a degenerative disease that Rafael Nadal was diagnosed with in 2005, the year he first won a French Open title.

How soon will Rafael Nadal be back again?

By his own admission, every game could be his last. Just ahead of the final, the Spaniard said that he would much rather get a new foot than win a title.
