Is that a wig or just photoshop Rafael Nadals new hairstyle has everyone talking

World No. 6 Rafael Nadal has already finished his 2021 season as he nurses the foot injury he picked up in June at the 2021 French Open where the defending champion was defeated in the semi-finals by the eventual champion and fellow Big-3 and 20 Grand Slam club member Novak Djokovic.

Nadal’s injury at Roland Garros saw him skip the Grass season and also the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics where he was looking forward to going for his 3rd Olympics medal after already having won 2 Gold medals. He made a comeback at the 2021 Washington Open but his injury was not healed completely and he had to call quits for the remainder of the season including the 2021 US Open.

In a recent event at the Rafa Nadal Academy where the announcements for the new podcast and documentary were made, Nadal also congratulated Dani Rincon who won the Junior Grand Slam singles title at this year’s US Open and being a student of the academy, he was also felicitated.
