Rafael Nadal is doing everything possible to make his on-court return ahead of the Qatar Open. He has pulled off an extraordinary stunt in a swimming pool, showing off his impressive lung capacity.
Nadal's comeback following an arthroscopic hip surgery has not been great. He returned to action earlier this year in January after not playing competitive tennis for nearly a year. However, a muscle tear forced him out of the Australian Open 2024. Before that, he suffered a three-set defeat to Jordan Thompson at the Brisbane International quarter-finals.
