Rafa Nadal pulls out of French Open

The Spaniard has failed to regain full fitness from a hip injury sustained earlier this year

Rafa Nadal has delivered news that no tennis fan wanted to hear.

The King of Clay will miss the French Open after failing to regain full fitness from a hip injury suffered at the Australian Open back in January.

The 14-time Roland Garros winner says he expects to retire following the 2024 season.

Nadal has dominated the clay court season for close to two decades.

The 22-time Grand Slam champion fronted a widely anticipated press conference at his tennis academy in Mallorca to drop the bombshell, saying its the right thing to do for his body and personal happiness.

“I’ll look to be 100% ready for next year, which I believe will be the last year of my professional career,” Nadal told a news conference at his tennis academy in Mallorca, Spain.

“The evolution of the injury I sustained in Australia has not gone as I would have liked. I have lost goals along the way, and Roland Garros becomes impossible.”

“I’ll not establish a date for my return. I’ll see how my body responds and take it from there,” said the 36-year-old. “If I keep playing at this moment, I don’t think I can be there next year.

“I don’t know if I’ll be able to come back in the highest level and compete for Grand Slams. What I will try to do is to give myself the opportunity to go back to what could be my final year competing at the highest level.”

Biden urges calm after election upset

U.S. President Joe Biden is calling on Americans to “bring down the temperature” after Donald Trump’s stunning return to the presidency.

Speaking to Democrats shaken by Vice President Kamala Harris’ defeat, Biden urged, “Setbacks are unavoidable. Giving up is unforgivable.”

He praised the election as proof of America’s strong and trustworthy electoral system, stressing that it remains “honest, fair, and transparent.”

Biden extended an invitation to President-elect Trump to meet at the White House—a gesture Trump himself had not extended in 2020.

Meanwhile, Trump’s team confirms he plans to meet with Biden soon, as he begins building his leadership team.

Some Democrats say Biden, now 81, may have hurt Harris’ chances by initially seeking re-election, only dropping his bid after a difficult TV debate in July.
