It seems that we will not see Nadal on the tennis courts for a long time, certainly not this year and maybe only next year.
After such a long tennis break, how ready will Nadal be for top tennis and can we expect him to play at the top level again and try to win the GS in Paris again?
It seems to me that we are now looking at the end of a great tennis career and that the way is now open for Djokovic to win a record number of GS titles.
What do you think?

https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/65798097I think it will be the end of Nadal and that after Federer he will be the next to retire. Both Federer and Nadal didn’t really have major injuries in the beginning but once you get older, your body is more prone to injuries and heals slower. Djokovic will probably win one or more grandslams but we with the upcoming superstar (Alcaraz) it will be not so easy for him.
Yes, for Nadal it seems the end of his career is near. Next year he's turning what? 38? For his style of play it's like Roger turning 45. I fear his body is refusing to go on with this exhausting rhythm. And I'm not so sure about Djokovic as well. He had a number of injuries this year, most notable an elbow injury, possibly issues with his back. Frankly, I don't see him winning RG this year.
Indeed it is looking quite ominous for Nadal's playing career and especially winning
more Grand Slam titles. It seems to be the life expectancy of a tennis players career of
the mid 30's.
It seems that seyboth wild journey in the French open has come to an end the only impressive performance he showed was against medvedev when he beat him despite being a heavy underdog but today against nishioka he lost unexpectedly, nishioka will face etcheverry next he has a good chance making it to the quarter final.
This is a problem with lower ranked players on atp tour. Once they win a big match against a big player from top 5 or top 10 they think they have done a big thing. But then they lose against an opponent that is on the same level as them or worst. In womens tennis its different . But still i think we can expect more from him in the future.
They don't have the consistency in performance. Altmaier, who won against Sinner in a very competing match have lost to Dimitrov in a very easy way 6-4 6-3 6-1. In the match between Zverev and Tiafoe, both are giving tough competence. Tiafoe have won a set and Zverev is in must win situation in the second set and it looks like the set will move to tie breaker.
Zverev v Tiafoe is still under way and Sascha won the second set 7:6 and then took the third one easily 6:1. It's now 2:2 in the 4th set and things are looking promising for the German. If you're looking for a last minute bet perhaps it's a nice opportunity to bet on Zverev.
TBH I'm surprised he has come so far, maybe he is regaining his confidence slowly
on the clay court, and I believe that was his main issue recently, his confidence after
the bad injury he had last year. He plays a tough opponent in Dimitrov next.
