Rafael Nadal to Appear at Australian Open 2026 Night of Legends Event

Rafael Nadal is set to return to Melbourne Park for the Australian Open 2026's 'Night of Legends' event on February 1, sharing the stage with Ashleigh Barty and Dylan Alcott. This follows Roger Federer's recent exhibition appearance at the tournament's opening ceremony. Nadal, who retired in 2024 after an injury-affected 2023 season, will not play but will reflect on his Australian Open legacy. His last tennis-related appearance was at the 2023 Next Gen ATP Finals.
