Tennis: Nadal expected in Monte-Carlo in early April. Nadal has not played since a quarter-final defeat in Brisbane on January 5.

The Spaniard had successively withdrawn from the Australian Open, Doha and Indian Wells. The Majorcan trained in recent days in the residence of billionaire Larry Elisson, the boss of the masters 1000 in Indian Wells which notably has… a clay court. If by then there are no new physical problems, the Spaniard will return to one of his favorite tournaments.
