Rafael Nadal hits a backhand during a practice session during Day 2 of the Internazionali BNL D'Italia 2024, at Foro Italico, in Rome, on May 7.
The 37-year-old Nadal, who has indicated that this will be his final year on tour, has played only nine matches this year after missing nearly all of 2023 due to a hip injury that required surgery.
