Nadal turns down Dubai Tennis Championships wildcard

Rafael Nadal took to Twitter to confirm that he was offered a wildcard to the upcoming 2021 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. But the Spaniard declined the invitation, on the grounds that he isn’t ‘ready to play yet’.

Nadal is currently recuperating from a back injury that also forced him to withdraw from the Rotterdam Open. Nadal’s back has been bothering him since the ATP Cup, where he had to sit out of all his singles fixtures.

Rafa had announced a couple of weeks ago that he wouldn’t be playing the Acapulco Open either, despite the fact that he was the defending champion at the event.
