Spanish tennis legend Rafael Nadal said Monday that he's tested positive for COVID-19 after returning to Spain from the Mubadala World Tennis Championship exhibition event in Abu Dhabi.
"I wanted to announce that on my return home after playing the Abu Dhabi tournament, I have tested positive for COVID in the PCR test that has been performed on me when I arrived in Spain," Nadal, 35, said on Twitter via ESPN.
Nadal, who has previously said that he's vaccinated, tested negative while he was in Kuwait and Abu Dhabi for the tournament. He didn't specifically say he was experiencing symptoms, but did say he hopes to get better as the days progress.
