MONTE CARLO —
Rafael Nadal has not yet been able to resume
training with a racket, said one of his teammates said on Tuesday, adding that
the world No. 4 will “logically” miss the Barcelona tournament next week.

“He
is still suffering from his ribs and as expected when his injury was announced,
he needs four to six weeks. We are at three, so logically he will not be able
to play again in Barcelona,” a person close to Nadal told AFP.
“He
does the gym, but nothing that hurts him and therefore obviously not with the
racket.”
After
Nadal suffered his first loss of the year to
Taylor Fritz in the Indian Wells
final, the 35-year-old Spaniard said he had suffered a stress fracture of a rib
in the semifinal against 18-year-old compatriot Carlos Alcaraz.
He
has already missed the Miami Masters on hard court and Monte Carlo, which opens
the European clay court season.
The next Masters events are Madrid
starting on May 1 and then Rome beginning on May 8.
The French Open begins on
May 22. Nadal has won the title at Roland Garros 13 times.
