‘Discomfort’ Puts Rafael Nadal at Cross-Roads in Doha as He Declares Indian Wells Verdict

The tennis community was all excited about Rafael Nadal’s comeback at this season’s Australian Open. However, the Spanish tennis player, who was on the sidelines for almost the entire 2023 season, picked up another injury in Brisbane, as he later missed the first Grand Slam event. As fans are now once again eagerly waiting to see him on a track again, the 22-time singles Grand Slam champion recently provided a verdict on his participation at the Indian Wells.

Nadal hasn’t played a singles competitive game since his participation in the 2023 Brisbane International, where he faced a quarterfinal defeat. Now that he missed his first tournament after his season-long injury absence, the Spaniard has returned to training with his sights set on the forthcoming tournaments, but he is still not 100%.

Will Rafael Nadal participate in the upcoming Indian Wells Open?

In an interview that will be broadcast this Wednesday night on The sixth, the ‘King of the Clay’ said, “I have had some discomfort in recent weeks and I am a little bit on the limit. At this point every blow I take, every injury, is a setback not only in tennis and physically, but also mentally. I trust the 100% to be in Indian Wells, it is a very special tournament for me . I don’t know if it will be the last time I am going to play it, but there are options that yes, so I would like to be in Indian Wells yes or yes.” 

While he is quite confident about his return at this season’s Indian Wells, Rafael Nadal is still not sure about his participation in the Qatar Open. He said, “I would love to be in Doha, but I arrive more just in Doha. I see the decision for Doha more at the last minute. I will travel to Indian Wells if there is nothing strange for sure.”

Just before Indian Wells, the 22-time singles Grand Slam champion will also play an exhibition match against his compatriot Carlos Alcaraz in Las Vegas. The blockbuster encounter between the two Spaniards will be broadcast around the globe on Netflix.
