"Rafael Nadal Pulls Out of Indian Wells Tournament"

Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells due to not feeling ready to play at the highest level, raising concerns about his comeback and future in competitive tennis. The decision comes after a month of uncertainty surrounding his health and playing schedule, with the focus now shifting to the upcoming clay court season, where Nadal has historically excelled. There is renewed speculation about when the 22-time Grand Slam champion might retire, with potential considerations for the Olympic tournament at Roland Garros and an exhibition in Saudi Arabia later this year.
