Rafael Nadal's last Tango doesn't have to end like a fairytale

Nadal's last stretch, Alcaraz's struggles and Gauff is coming for Swiatek

We should prepare for Rafael Nadal’s last step on a tennis court. He’s trying hard to give us all, and himself first, this “clay farewell” so let’s send good vibes. Carlos Alcaraz is still MIA on clay, the Queen’s wants to get the Ladies in, Gauff is coming for Swiatek’s crown, and watching sports might be a doctor’s order.

ROLAND-GARROS Nadal won’t risk anything before Paris

Rafael Nadal did the most he could do in Barcelona: he played. Nobody should have expected more than seeing him on the court, doing his best to say goodbye. He had the best possible week: he won a match and got to leave the court that bears his name under an ovation and with no new injury. He was always going to lose that match against Alex De Minaur. Nobody is helping him by saying he’s a favorite for this or that. He called it: it’s stupid, he’s a contender for no title right now.
