Rafael Nadal confirms appearance at Barcelona Open but suggest 2024 will be his last on tour

Rafael Nadal says he is "just trying to enjoy every moment" as he returns to the tour for the first time since January at this week's Barcelona Open.

After almost a year out with injuries, Nadal returned in Brisbane but has not played since because of a hip issue.

The 37-year-old said it "means" a lot to play "one more time" in Barcelona, adding further to the suggestion this will be his last year on tour.

"I can't give you an injury update because the list is long," Nadal said.

"I can only tell you that today I feel myself, enough good to be on court tomorrow and that for me is so important.
