However, in the following year, he faced setbacks at several tournaments, including the Australian Open. Yet, that same year, Nadal emerged victorious at Wimbledon and the French Open. He endured a knee injury during the tournament in Rotterdam, which required him to withdraw. This sidelined him for several months, negatively impacting his game.
In 2010, after missing the Australian Open, Rafa made his return at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters.
