On April 9, Monte Carlos Masters 2023 will officially start. This is the Masters 1000 on the first pitch of the ground of the year.
After a long absence, Rafael Nadal is expected to re -export at Monte Carlo. This March, a few Nadal videos have appeared on the ground. The organizers also show confident that this year's prize will have the presence of Spanish tennis players.
However, Nadal recently confirmed that he could not attend Monte Carlos Masters. The Spanish star said he still had not completely recovered the torn injury. This injury also caused Rafa to withdraw from the last two Masters 1000 tournaments in the US, Indian Wells Masters and Miami Open.
On the personal page, Nadal announced: “Hello everyone. I am still not ready to play at the highest level.
Therefore, I will not be able to play in one of the most important tournaments in my career, Monte Carlo Masters. Currently, I am still continuing the process of recovery. Hope I will return soon, ”Nadal said.
After Nadal, Alcaraz also brings sad news to the audience at Monte Carlo. Accordingly, the world's No. 1 player also decided to withdraw from the tournament because of injury.
“After two months of competition, I was happy to return home. However, the feeling was sad, because I was injured in the semi -final Miami Open.
I went to see Dr. Lopez Martinez in Murcia today. After the evaluation process, I will not be able to attend Monte Carlo Masters this year. I have left hand arthritis as well as spinal pain and need to rest. See you again in 2024, ”Alcaraz announced.
With Nadal and Alcaraz's absence, Djokovic will be the No. 1 candidate for the Monte Carlo championship. The Serbian player recently reclaimed the world's No. 1 position from Alcaraz, though no tournament in March.
