Top 14: at what time and on which channel to follow Perpignan-Clermont?
Rafael Nadal declared that he would decide “at the last minute” on his participation in the ATP 250 tournament in Doha, scheduled for February 19 to 24, suggesting that he instead intended to make his return to the Masters 1000 in Indian Wells.
“It’s going to be very fair for Doha,” said the Majorcan in an interview with the private Spanish television channel La Sexta, broadcast in its entirety this Wednesday evening. “I will probably make my decision at the last minute,” he said.
“I've had some discomfort in recent weeks and I'm a little limited,” explained the winner of 22 Grand Slam tournaments. “At this stage (of my career), each setback has enormous repercussions on the tennis and physical level, but also psychologically.”
The Spaniard, almost a year after his defeat and his hip injury in the second round of the 2023 Australian Open, a year in which he underwent two operations, made a brief return to competition at the occasion of the Brisbane tournament at the beginning of January.
Injured again (muscle microtear) during his 3rd round match, he withdrew on January 7 for the 2024 Australian Open. Although he clearly suggested that he would not be in Doha, Nadal on the other hand showed much more optimism about his participation in the Masters 1000 tournament in Indian Wells, from March 6 to 17 in California.
“I am 100% confident of my presence in Indian Wells, a special tournament for me. The opportunity to play there may not come again, so I would like to be in Indian Wells, that's for sure,” he told La Sexta.
Nadal reiterated in this interview that his "main objective" was "to try to approach the clay court season in as good shape as possible, to at least give myself a chance to fully enjoy this period of the season."
Clay is the favorite surface of the former king of world tennis, now aged 37 and 646th in the world. He won 14 of his 22 Grand Slam lifts there, in his home garden of Roland-Garros where he lost only 3 of his 115 matches in 18 appearances.
