Rafael Nadal

Spanish ace Rafael Nadal has had form, and then some, in the 2017 season. But 2016 was a season of misses for him, although he did not, per se, take a ‘break’ from the sport.
But that is something he has done in the past. The Spanish ace’s struggles with injury are reccurent and not recent, and after a dip in late 2014, Nadal struggled in the 2015 and 2016 seasons. Between middling-to-low results and shock losses, Nadal’s year had looked grim.
Grand Slams also did not bring much success for Nadal, with the Spaniard eventually sitting out both the French Open and Wimbledon, returning to the US Open only to suffer an early loss.
With his significant dip in form, Nadal looked to be both down and out, and admitted to serious burnout.
This year, however, Nadal has been nothing short of his early-2000s form. The Spaniard blazed through a not-so-easy Australian Open draw to set up a blockbuster final against Roger Federer, and although he did not win, was in the match until perhaps the final game.
