It is obvious that the injury is still bothering him and he is not ready to return to full power. The last time Nadal played in Miami was seven years ago when he was defeated by Roger Federer in the final. His main goal this season will be Roland Garros, and in preparation for that he will probably participate in Monte Carlo, Barcelona, ​​Madrid or Rome.

The Spaniard marked his return to the courts at the beginning of 2024, but was injured in the quarter-finals of Brisbane, which should have served as a preparation for his first Grand Slam, the Australian Open, where he did not play.
