Rafael Nadal 2021 schedule: When will the King of Clay play next?


Rafael Nadal may have bowed out in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open, but another Roland Garros looms on the horizon for the King of Clay in 2021.

Rafael Nadal has a chance at a record-extending 14th French Open and record-breaking 21st Grand Slam. The clay-court season will always be at the heart of Rafael Nadal’s schedule until he retires, and this year is no different. Nadal had to pull out of Rotterdam 2021 with a back injury and will not play in Acapulco. Otherwise, we can expect a similar line-up to previous Nadal campaigns as long as he remains fit. There is one addition of the Olympics in which the 2008 gold-medallist Spaniard has expressed interest.
