«Hello everyone, I'm not yet ready to compete at the highest level. I won't be able to play in one of the most important tournaments of my career, Monte Carlo».
With a message on social media , the Spanish tennis champion Rafa Nadal announces the forfeit at the Principality tournament which, as usual, opens the season of major racket events on clay.
"I'm not yet in a position to play with the maximum guarantees and - he adds - I continue my preparation journey, hoping to return soon".
