Rafael Nadal officially announced that there will be no ‘The Slam’ match Carlos Alcaraz, the showcase of champions set for March 5 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. “Unfortunately, the period of my recovery does not make it possible for me to be there to play,” the Spaniard said in a note explaining his absence, regretting that he could not attend the event.
Nadal, 36 years old and world number 6, was injured in the second round match of the Australian Open against the American mackenzie mcdonald. He suffered a grade 2 injury to the iliopsoas in his left leg, establishing a recovery period of between six and eight weeks.
Nadal had to withdraw from the ATP tournaments in Doha and Dubai, this announcement invites us to think that he will not attend the Masters 1000 ATP in Indian Wells, which will be held in the California desert from March 8 to 19.
His priority is clay, where he will appear again playing the Masters 1000 ATP in Monte Carlo, from April 9 to 16. The following week is the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell-Trofeo Conde de Godó, where he was announced as the headliner with Carlos Alcaraz.
