In rather devastating news for the tennis world, Spanish pro Rafael Nadal pulled out of the upcoming Monte Carlo Open. The tennis giant was expected to resume his tennis comeback in the clay season, but unfortunately, Nadal won’t make it for yet another tournament. 

Nadal has been out of the sport due to recurring injuries, which resurfaced at the start of 2024. The King of Clay had all eyes on him as he set up for one hell of a comeback. However, that was cut short at the Australian Open, and since then, the Spaniard has been on a time crunch.
