The volcano on the island of La Palma erupted on Sunday, following a week of seismic activity. Rivers of lava oozed out of the volcano, causing more than 6,000 people in La Palma to flee their homes. As if that weren’t enough, it is being reported that things might not settle down until December.
Rafael Nadal, who has been sidelined due to a wrist injury, revealed that he was keeping close tabs on the situation on the island. The Spaniard extended his support to all the people affected by the volcanic eruption and said the pictures of the incidents horrified him.
Nadal, however, expressed hope that the devastation would come to an end soon.
Rafael Nadal is currently recovering from a chronic foot injury
Rafael Nadal is currently spending some time away from the tennis court. The Spaniard aggravated a foot injury during his Roland Garros semifinal against eventual champion Novak Djokovic earlier this year.
Nadal subsequently withdrew from Wimbledon and the Olympics, but returned to action in Washington. However, he struggled with foot problems throughout his campaign and crashed out in the third round to Lloyd Harris.
Nadal then pulled out of the US Open and called time on his 2021 season. The 20-time Slam champion received medical treatment for his foot injury a few days ago and is now resting in Spain. He will likely resume training in a few weeks.
If Nadal can shake off his injury and regain full fitness, he will fancy his chances of challenging for the big titles next season. He is currently tied on 20 Grand Slams with Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.
