Tennis NewsTuesday, 14 February 2023 at 17:00
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.

- Why do you even publish this TwatCaster's PATHETIC stunt for attention? There's plenty of reasons why imbeciles like him are 'talking' and people like Iga Swiatek are 'walking the walk'. Tennisuptodate should be above this tripe.

- As for ITIA -- who, or what entity, oversees this untrustworthy organization?? Too many recent cases of suspensions over tests proving minimal stats at best. Neither Iga nor Simona showed even a hint at prolonged use. Sinner, we don't know because the secrecy was extreme. Now we find ITIA flat-out LIED about speaking directly with the manufacturer of the drug in question associated with Iga. Are we to believe ITIA can be trusted? Not according to the past few years of questionable corporate conduct. ITIA can no longer be trusted to fairly regulate nor investigate itself... so who or what will??mandoist06-12-2024
