Just hours before he was set to face Roger Federer at the Indian Wells Masters, Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from the tournament.
Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from the Indian Wells Masters due to a knee injury ahead of his scheduled semifinal match with Roger Federer.
“I warmed up today and I felt that my knee was not good to compete at the level I needed to compete in semifinals.”
“It’s tough for me to accept all these things that I’m going through in my career. Sometimes I feel sad because I’m in a disadvantage to all my opponents.”
“I need to be positive and grateful for all the things tennis has given to me. I feel fortunate for all the things I’ve done in my life and the world of tennis“ - declared Nadal to the BNP Paribas Open organizers.
