Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz have both withdrawn from the Monte Carlo Masters with the Spanish duo announcing the news within minutes of each other. It had been hoped that Nadal could make his return at the opening clay-court Masters tournament on April 10, having not played since the Australian Open due to a muscular injury in his left leg.

Carlos Alcaraz compares favourably to tennis's 'Big Three' of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, says Taylor Fritz. Fritz met the 19-year-old Alcaraz for the first time during their Miami Open quarter-final on Thursday night in Florida, and it was a chastening evening for the American, losing in straight sets in just 1h18. Ad Afterwards, Fritz was candid about how difficult he had found the encounter, and what makes current world No.
American Taylor Fritz had his first taste of facing world number one Carlos Alcaraz in a Miami Open quarter-final loss on Thursday and said it had been a tougher experience than facing any of the sport's former 'Big Three'.
Rafael Nadal said he hopes to battle back from injury in time to compete for yet another title at Roland-Garros after he was presented a replica statue by the French Tennis Federation (FFT). The 36-year-old is currently on the road to recovery after suffering an injury at the Australian Open in January, where he was eliminated in the second round by Mackenzie McDonald.
World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz has outlined lofty ambitions for his career, saying that reaching the levels of the 'Big Three' is his benchmark. Alcaraz has enjoyed a meteoric rise in tennis, triumphing at the 2022 US Open as a teenager and is now just ahead of Novak Djokovic in the world rankings.
