Rafael Nadal enjoyed a winning start at the Barcelona Open as he returned from another long-term injury in what could be his final year before retirement.

The Spanish twenty two-time major champion, who turns thirty eight in June, won 6-2 6-3 against inexperienced Italian Flavio Cobolli in their first-round match today.

Now ranked 644th, Nadal was playing for the first time since January because of a hip injury and abdominal issues.

 

Nadal has indicated 2024 is likely to be his last as a professional player.

After pulling out of last year's French Open with the hip problem, the former world number one said he planned to retire at the end of this season.
