Rafael Nadal to directly make a comeback at Indian Wells

Rafael Nadal has returned to the tour but is still far from being fully fit. The 37-year-old made a comeback at the Brisbane International. However, he had to bow out after a defeat in the third round. The Spanish ace was supposed to play at the 2024 Australian Open, but Nadal deemed himself unfit to compete at such a high-intensity tournament.

After missing the year’s first Grand Slam, Nadal was expected to return to action with the Middle East leg of the tour. However, the 22-time Grand Slam champion pulled out of the Qatar Open, citing fitness concerns. 

I would have loved to play in Doha, where the tournament team, as well as the amazing Qatar fans have always supported me greatly. Unfortunately I am not ready to compete and I won’t be able to come to Doha where I really wanted to be and play again after that unforgettable win in 2014.
