A report from Spain suggests that Rafael Nadal’s withdrawal from the Monte Carlo Masters this week may not be solely due to injury, despite his claims that his body is not allowing him to play. The 22-time Grand Slam champion, who has dominated the clay court event in the past, acknowledged last year that this season could potentially be his last. Since 2022, Nadal has had limited competitive matches and has not played since January. It was anticipated that he would make a comeback at the Monte Carlo Masters, but a recent statement indicates that the hip issue he faced in Australia is still a concern for him. Nadal expressed disappointment at having to miss the event but remains hopeful for a recovery in the near future.
There is now uncertainty surrounding Rafael Nadal’s withdrawal from the Monte Carlo tournament as Spanish radio station Radio Nacional claims to have obtained information suggesting that he is in good physical health.Reporter Javier De Diego analysed the senior tennis player’s remarks, asking: “What’s going on with him right now? “My body just won’t allow it.” Translating that, we may state that it is a euphemism to state, succinctly, that Rafa is not hurt, now that the Spanish national radio is aware of this.
