Nadal is on the verge of retirement

Veteran Spanish star Rafael Nadal withdrew from the Indian Wells Tennis Championship due to his lack of readiness.
Spanish matador Nadal (37 years old) returned to tennis competitions in Brisbane, Australia, last January, after an absence that lasted for about a year due to a thigh injury, but he was forced to miss the Australian Open due to another muscle injury.
Nadal lost to his compatriot Carlos Alcaraz in an exhibition tournament in Las Vegas, and seemed close to participating in Indian Wells, where he won the title three times.
The Spanish star, who has won 22 major titles, confirmed that the decision to withdraw was not easy.
