Will he return in time to Roland Garros?
Rafael Nadal announced today (Tuesday) that in a series of tests, he was found to be suffering from a crack in his ribs and will be out for four to six weeks.
"I returned to Spain and immediately went to visit my medical staff to do the post-graduation tests of the Indian Wells I was playing uncomfortably," Nadal wrote.
"It turns out, I have a stress crack on one of my ribs and will be absent for 4-6 weeks. This is not good news and I did not expect it. I am frustrated and sad because the season is going well for me."
Hello everyone, I would like to announce that he flew to Spain and was looking to visit my medical team to try out the Indian Wells final that he played with molesters.

As you may recall, already in the Indian Wells final where he lost to Taylor Fritz, Nadal felt unwell and said he suffered from breathing problems that made it difficult for him during the game.
Now the fears have come true and in the next month and a half he will have to rest and be absent from the pitches.
The absence came at a very inconvenient time for Nadal.
In exactly two months, the Roland Garros will open, the second Grand Slam of the season in which he has won 13 times in the past and his return to the tournament may be very borderline.
