Nadal’s nickname crossword clue

60 Down · WSJ Crossword, July 7, 2026 · 4 letters

Answer
RAFA
RAFA (4 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Nadal’s nickname” is RAFA. It appears as 60 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 7, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Playing Around” by Brian Keller, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 12, column 8 of the 15×15 grid.

The clue is a straightforward definition, so the answer is a direct synonym or a factual match for the words as written. The entry begins with R and ends with A, and contains 2 vowels and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
