Rafa Nadal also skips the Internazionali d’Italia

Rafael Nadal will also miss the Internazionali d’Italia. In fact, the Spanish champion has not yet recovered from the injury he suffered at the Australian Open and is forced to skip Rome as well, after Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Madrid. It remains to be seen if the Mallorcan will be able to play Roland Garros, the last appointment on clay where Rafa boasts a beauty of 14 titles.

“I am sorry to announce that I will not be able to be in Rome. You all know how much it pains me not to be there at one of the tournaments that has marked my professional and personal career because of the affection and support of the Italian fans. Although I have noticed an improvement in the last few days, for many months I have not been able to train at a high level and the readjustment process has its own times. I have no choice but to accept them and keep working,” reads the message posted on the social channels of the 22-time Slam champion.
