Retired for a year, Rafael Nadal humorously revealed yesterday that he underwent hand surgery, stating that he "will not be able to play the Australian Open."

A post that certainly sparked reactions on social media.

"We hope to see you in Paris"

Among the many reactions, that of Roland-Garros did not go unnoticed. The X account (formerly Twitter) of the Parisian tournament quickly addressed, in the same tone, a message of support to the Spanish legend:

"Get well soon Rafa, we hope to see you in Paris!"

A simple but symbolic message, which recalls the strong bond between Nadal and Roland-Garros, where the Spaniard has triumphed 14 times.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
