Rafael Nadal to play in Las Vegas exhibition in February for 1st US action since retirement
The 22-time Grand Slam champion will headline The MGM Slam, with additional players and the format to be announced in coming weeks.
- Rafael Nadal, 22-time Grand Slam champion, will headline The MGM Slam presented by Capital One at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Feb. 27, organizers announced Monday.
- This exhibition marks Nadal's first U.S. appearance since retiring two years ago, though he previously faced Carlos Alcaraz in a Vegas exhibition during his final tour year.
- "I remember how impressive it was to feel the energy of a full arena in a city like Las Vegas," Nadal said, noting he returns "without the pressure of the tour but with the same passion."
- Scheduled for just before the ATP 1000 event in Indian Wells, California, the exhibition positions Nadal's return in the lead-up to professional tennis competition.
- Additional players and the event format will be announced in the coming weeks; last year, eight players competed in a tiebreaker format.
