The 20-times Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal has tested positive for Covid-19 upon his arrival in Spain just days after making his comeback from injury at the Mubadala World Tennis Championship. Nadal said he was having some "unpleasant moments" but was hoping to feel better soon and would keep people informed about his plans over future tournaments.
Hola a todos. Quería anunciaros que en mi regreso a casa tras disputar el torneo de Abu Dhabi, he dado positivo por COVID en la prueba PCR que se me ha realizado al llegar a España.

The 35-year-old said he had tested negative at all times when he was in Kuwait and Abu Dhabi and had last tested negative on Friday last week. Nadal spent four months on the sidelines with a foot injury. He was knocked out at Roland Garros in the semi-finals and was forced to pull out of Wimbledon, the Tokyo Olympics and the U.S. Open.
