According to Nadal, he is not ready to participate in the tournament due to health problems.
Nadal: “Playing with Alcaraz is a big challenge”
“It is with great sadness that I have to withdraw from the incredible Indian Wells tournament. Everyone knows how much I love this tournament, how much I love playing in it. This is one of the reasons for which I came here so early. I wanted to train and prepare.
I worked and trained hard. You all know I took tests this weekend. But I think I’m not yet ready to play at such a high level in such an important tournament. I made a difficult decision, it’s complex, but I can’t make a mistake or deceive thousands of fans. I will miss you all,” Nadal wrote on social media.
