Esta vez, no puedo ser. El resumen, ni más ni menos, de Rafa Nadal tras caer ante Taylor Fritz en la final de Indian Wells. El partido se torció desde los primeros juegos y, pese al empuje del balear, que forzó el tie-break en el segundo set, el milagro no se culminó. Entre las razones, seguramente, unos problemas físicos en su pectoral izquierdo que, frente a Carlos Alcaraz, ya le atormentaron. Pese a ello, sin excusas, Nadal, a pie de pista, se limitó a dar la enhorabuena al jugador estadounidense, el primer vencedor local desde Andre Agassi en 2001, y agradeció todo el apoyo recibido durante las dos semanas de torneo.
