Rafael Nadal’s 2023 season is likely over.
The 22-time major champion underwent surgery on his left hip flexor and expects to stay out of action for at least five months, according to his spokesperson Benito Perez-Barbadillo.
Nadal hasn’t competed professionally since the Australian Open in January when he lost to Mackie McDonald in the second round.
“Rafa will begin his progressive functional rehabilitation in a few hours, and the normal recovery process is estimated at five months, always taking into account respecting the biological times of said structure,” Perez-Barbadillo said, according to ESPN.
