Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal announced on his social networks that he will not be able to participate in the Australian Open.
“Hello everyone, as you know, in my last match in Brisbane, I had a minor muscle problem that worried me. I was diagnosed with a micro-tear in the muscle, but it was not where the injury was before, which is good news. I am no longer ready to perform at maximum level in five-set matches. Nadal “I’m flying to Spain to see a doctor, get treatment and rest,” he said.
In early January, Nadal participated in a tournament in Brisbane (Australia). The Spaniard lost to Australian Jordan Thompson in the quarter-finals. Before that, Nadal appeared in court in January 2023. She then lost to American Mackenzie McDonald in the second round of the Australian Open.
Serbian Novak Djokovic continues to lead the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) rankings (11,245 points). Spanish Carlos Alcaraz ranks second with 8855 points. Daniil Medvedev (7600 points) is in the top three.
