Spanish men’s professional tennis player Rafael Nadal has won an incredible 92 ATP singles titles throughout his glittering career, which is surely coming to an end over the next few years. The question being asked here is, can Nadal ever win another ATP final?
Who is Rafael Nadal?
Rafael Nadal Parera (more commonly known as Rafael Nadal) is a men’s professional tennis player and one of the most successful players in the history of the sport. The 26-year-old was born in Manacor, Mallorca, Spain, in June 1986.

Can Nadal win another ATP final?
Some people believe he is in the best shape of his life, but the best way to gauge just how likely it is that Nadal will win another ATP final would be to look to the major sports wagering sites to find out what kind of odds they are offering for Nadal to win an upcoming ATP tournament outright. For example, at the time of writing, at most sites, you will see that he is NOT the current odds-on favourite to win the November 17th ATP French Open final.
For example, the odds-on favourite to win the match is Casper Ruud. He is currently priced at -200 in American/moneyline odds, which equates to 1/2 in UK fractional odds, and 1.50 in European decimal odds. In comparison, Nadal is currently priced at +160 (which is 8/5 or 2.60) to win the match. There are multiple wagering markets available for this event, and you can generally wager from as little as C$0.10 or C$0.20 per wager (depending on the website). He may not win this final, but there’s a good chance he can still win more upcoming ATP finals. Only time will tell.
Final word when placing real money wagers
When gambling with real money, always remember to walk away from your losses. Chasing your losses could end up in you losing even more money. Set deposit limits, where possible, to help you stay in control of your spending, and never gamble out of necessity. Understanding the odds can help you place more strategic wagers that are more likely to return a profit, and always remember to try and gamble responsibly.
