Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from Indian Wells, the first Masters 1000 of the year. The Spanish tennis player wants to but, for the moment, he cannot.

Nadal: “My level of tennis is one thing, and the specter of injuries is another.” “This is not starting from scratch but, in the end, I don't have a journey,” emphasized Nadal, who has barely been able to play five matches since January 2023.
