Is Rafael Nadal playing Indian Wells 2024?
Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from the 2024 BNP Paribas Open saying he is "not ready to play at the highest level". The news came just a day before the 22-time Grand Slam champion was set to play his first official match since withdrawing from the Australian Open due to injury.
The 37-year-old Spaniard lost to Carlos Alcaraz in an exhibition event in Las Vegas on Sunday and appeared ready to compete for a fourth title in the California desert. Nadal will now turn his attention to recovering in time to achieve a record-extending 15th French Open title and a second Olympic gold medal at the Paris Games this summer.
