Rafael Nadal has been struggling with his body for years. In June last year he underwent hip surgery and then took a five-month break. He had to forfeit the Australian Open and also skip the next tournament in Doha.
Now he would have liked to make a comeback at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, but is now shocking his fans with bad news. He said: “It is with great sadness that I have to withdraw from this great tournament.” Everyone knows how much he loves this place and how much he loves playing in Indian Wells.
But the body is not yet cooperating. Nadal writes: “I worked hard and practiced and took a test this weekend, but I am not yet ready to play in such an important event at the highest level.” It wasn’t an easy decision. But he couldn’t lie to himself or the fans. “I will miss you all.”
The chances of Nadal winning another tournament are getting smaller from month to month. The 22-time Grand Slam winner has played only twelve matches since the US Open in 2022 and announced his intention to retire this year.
Tournament director Tommy Haas (45) of Indian Wells expressed his regret in a statement. “We are disappointed that Rafa cannot play at the BNP Paribas Open, but we wish him a speedy recovery so that he can return to full attack soon.” Nadal is one of the “absolute favorites” for the fans. Nadal would have met Milos Raonic (33) in the first round. He is now replaced by almost namesake Sumit Nagal (26). (neo)
