Rafael Nadal will not return to action at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships or Qatar ExxonMobil Open withdrawing with his injury return likely set to come at Indian Wells or Miami at the latest.
Nadal picked up an abdomen injury at the Australian Open and his recovery was set for six to eight weeks so it was very much when he was going to pull out.
He was set to return to Dubai in particular for the first time in 15 years which was set for February 27 - March 4, with Doha the week before on February 20-25.
Acapulco takes place on the same week as Doha and as a result he will lose 500 ranking points to send him tumbling down the rankings.
