Rafa Nadal's absence from Indian Wells saw the 22-times Grand Slam champion slip out of the top 10 for the first time since 2005 on Monday but the Spaniard will still be the "man to beat" at the French Open if he can get back to full fitness.
Andy Murray will play Dusan Lajovic in the first round of the Miami Open and could meet world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in the third round. Two-time former champion Murray is playing the ATP Masters 1000 event for only the second time since 2016.
Rafael Nadal is targeting a return to tennis at the Monte Carlo Masters, according to the tournament director of the event. Nadal has not played since losing in the second round of the Australian Open to Mackenzie McDonald, where he picked up a hip injury.
Dominic Thiem has given his verdict on Novak Djokovic’s chances of winning the Calendar Slam this year – and picked out which “four or five” players could stop him and Rafael Nadal from sweeping the Grand Slams. Djokovic came close to becoming the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to win all four majors in the same year when he won the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon in 2021, but then lost to Daniil Medvedev in the US Open final.
Casper Ruud believes that Rafael Nadal could once again be the man to beat at the French Open when the second Grand Slam of the season gets underway in May. Nadal has 14 titles at Roland-Garros to his name, and while he has made it clear he is reducing the amount of tennis he will be playing to stay fresh and manage his conditioning, nobody expects the 36-year-old to easily let go of the trophy he won as recently as last year.
Casper Ruud has been within touching distance of getting to world No. 1 over the last six months. First at the 2022 US Open, when Ruud could have got to the top of the rankings if he had beaten Carlos Alcaraz in the final, and then at the Australian Open, when he needed to make the final to have a chance of replacing Alcaraz as No.
Qualifier Cristian Garin shocked third-seeded Casper Ruud 6-4, 7-6 (7/2) to reach the fourth round at Indian Wells on Sunday as Daniil Medvedev and Cameron Norrie survived scares.
Daniil Medvedev kept alive his bid for a fourth successive title after overcoming a "tricky" third-round battle with Ilya Ivashka at the Indian Wells Masters on Sunday.
