OFFICIAL: Rafael Nadal will not play Monte-Carlo Masters in latest aborted return

The worst omens have been confirmed. It was rumored that Rafael Nadal was not feeling well training in recent days and today he has confirmed on Twitter that he will not play the Monte-Carlo Masters.

In his 'X' account he commented the following: "Hello everyone! It's been a difficult time for me sportingly speaking. Unfortunately I inform you that I will not play in Monte Carlo. My body just won't let me.

Since he said that his goal was to play Monte Carlo, Nadal had been uploading videos and photos to his social networks training. However, in recent days these publications had stopped appearing, as well as the videos uploaded by players training at the Rafa Nadal Academy. Now we know why: Rafa was not feeling well, was still in discomfort and has decided not to return;

As we have already said more than once the priority for Nadal is to be able to play Roland Garros and he is not going to force anything. We do not know if he will be able to achieve it. The truth is that after spending 2023 in blank and not being able to play the Australian Open after his physical problem in Brisbane, things have gone from bad to worse, withdrawing from Doha, Indian Wells and now Monte Carlo. There are still tournaments to come before Roland Garros: Madrid, Barcelona, Rome? Will he be able to make it in time?
