Rafael Nadal has been spotted training in the gym of his Rafa Nadal Academy after picking up a rib injury in Indian Wells. The world No 3 has started his season with a 20-1 win-loss record, picking up three titles, but will now be forced to miss the start of his most successful surface on the clay after revealing he had a stress fracture on one of his ribs.
Rafael Nadal has been told he should have skipped the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells after picking up an injury in the tournament that is now set to rule him out for six weeks. Nadal, 35, announced last August that his 2021 season would be finishing early due to a chronic foot problem, and then his scheduled comeback in December was scuppered when he tested positive for Covid-19.
Daniil Medvedev has been warned he is not yet at the level of Novak Djokovic despite being on the brink of regaining the world No 1 spot at the Miami Open. After his straight sets wins over Andy Murray, the Russian will face American Jenson Brooksby for a place in the last eight. Progressing to the semi finals would be enough for the 26-year-old to rise back to the top of rankings for the second time this year.
Rafael Nadal announced he would be unable to play at the Miami Open a day after he competed in the final of the BNP Paribas Open when he was beaten by Taylor Fritz due to a rib injury he picked up during his semi final tie with Carlos Alcaraz, and tennis legend Mats Wilander believes he pushed his body too much.
Daniil Medvedev can still make very significant improvements to his game if he has the right mindset to take his tennis to the next level, according to Mats Wilander. The world No. 2 cruised past Britain's Andy Murray, a two-time champion at the Miami Open, on Saturday and is looking to again usurp Novak Djokovic at the top of the ATP rankings with the Serb unable to travel to the USA due to being unvaccinated.
Mats Wilander has backed Novak Djokovic to claim a 21st Grand Slam title at the French Open in May. Djokovic appears free to defend his Roland Garros title after France relaxed its rules surrounding Covid vaccine passports. Ad/> Vaccine passports will no longer be required in France from March 14, with the French Open due to start on May 22.
Iga Swiatek may have reached world No. 1 in the most surprising fashion following Ashleigh Barty’s retirement at the age of 25, but it is no surprise to see her now sit at the top of the women’s game. Swiatek’s talent was clear when she swept to the 2020 French Open title without dropping a set.
Mats Wilander believes the return of Ivan Lendl can unlock the missing ingredient that could propel Andy Murray back up the world rankings and provide the Scot with a fitting swansong. The three-time Grand Slam champion has bemoaned his struggle for consistency since returning from career-threatening hip surgery and currently sits at 85 in the world. Ad/> Murray insists he is still capable of competing with the Tour’s finest stars but his failure to back up some promising results with deeper runs in major tournaments has left him hugely frustrated.
