Rafael Nadal recently made his feelings known about a match he could play again. The Spaniard ended his monumental tennis career after retiring in October 2024.<\/p>\n

A video of Nadal was uploaded by one of the X users recently, where he was seen being involved in a fun Q&A session in an interview. While talking about several aspects, he was asked which match he would like to play once again. Answering this, he revealed that he would like to play the 2014 Australian Open final again, which was against Stan Wawrinka. Wawarinka won the match with a score of 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 after Nadal sustained a back injury.<\/p>\n

Revealing the reason behind choosing this match, the Spaniard said:<\/p>\n

“I believe that if I could play a game again, maybe it was the 2014 Australian Open final to see if I don’t get hurt.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
