TENNIS : RAFAEL NADAL WITHDRAWS FROM INDIAN WELLS AND MIAMI OPEN DUE TO HIP INJURY; EYES TO DEFEND FRENCH OPEN ?
Sixteen-Time Grand Slam Champion Rafael Nadal @RafaelNadal has withdrawn from Indian Wells Masters and Miami Open @MiamiOpen.Tweet
This is now the ninth consecutive tournament Rafael Nadal has either withdrawn or retired from, writes Ben Rothenberg @BenRothenberg of The New York Times.
King Of Clay Rafael Nadal is set to defend his title at The French Open, where he shattered the record books and won an unprecedented 10th French Open Title aptly dubbed as "La Decima" (The Tenth) in June of 2017 - - with sheer and utter dominance - - without losing a single Set from the Tournament's start to finish.
Rafael Nadal is regarded as the Greatest Clay Court Player of all time.
Is the Spanish Raging Bull temporarily licking his wounds, just to come back and continue his charge wreaking havoc at Roland Garros?
