MADRID — Rafael Nadal will miss the Madrid Open subsequent week as a result of his restoration from a hip damage goes a lot slower than anticipated.

The 22-time Grand Slam winner has been sidelined since January by a left hip flexor damage he picked up on the Australian Open. The subject has saved him from the Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo and Barcelona tournaments up to now.

The Madrid Open he’s received 5 occasions begins on Monday.

“(This injury) was supposed to keep me out six to eight weeks, but I have been out 14,” Nadal stated in Spanish in a message on Instagram on Thursday. “We have followed all the medical advice, but my recovery has not gone as they said it would, and now we find ourselves in a difficult situation.”

The 36-year-old Nadal didn't point out his prospects for being match for the French Open beginning on May 28.
