2024 U.S. Open Entry List Includes Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal Returns to 2024 U.S. Open Tennis Tournament Entry List

After missing five of the last six Grand Slam events, Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal is making a comeback by being included in the entry list for the 2024 U.S. Open in August. This news comes after Nadal decided to skip Wimbledon to focus on the 2024 Summer Games and deal with previous injuries that have kept him off the court.

Although his placement on the entry list does not guarantee his participation, Nadal’s fans are excited to see him potentially return to the Grand Slam stage. The 38-year-old athlete hinted in May that his appearance at the 2024 French Open may have been his final run, which ended in a disappointing first-round exit.

Despite his recent struggles, Nadal is determined to make a strong comeback at the U.S. Open and is also set to team up with fellow Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz in the doubles tournament. Nadal secured his spot on the entry list through the protected ranking system, with his protected ranking at No. 9 compared to his current ATP Tour singles ranking of 261.

With other top players like Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, and Daniil Medvedev also on the entry list, the 2024 U.S. Open promises to be an exciting and competitive event. Tennis fans can look forward to seeing Nadal back on the court and vying for another Grand Slam title.
