Nadal's surgery was successful! He is expected to return to the game in five months and miss out on Wimbledon and US Open this season

Beijing time on June 3, Nadal shared the latest progress of his injury on his 37th birthday. The 22-time Grand Slam champion underwent arthroscopic surgery the day before and is expected to recover in five months, meaning Nadal has largely ended his season early.

Nadal injured his left iliopsoas muscle during the Australian Open match against McDonald in January this year, and the recovery time was estimated to be 6 to 8 weeks. However, as time went on, Nadal's injury recovery was not ideal, and his return was repeatedly delayed.

Plagued by injury concerns, Nadal missed the entire clay-court season, including his best French Open. On his last day at the age of 36, the red earth god underwent arthroscopic surgery in Barcelona. Nadal's surgery went very smoothly and he will enter a recovery period.

Nadal's expected recovery time is 5 months, which means he will be sidelined for Wimbledon and US Open this year. If he recovers as expected, Nadal could be back during this year's Davis Cup finals week, as he has previously said.
