Absence of Nadal in Miami Sparks Speculation on 2024 Clay Campaign

Rafael Nadal’s absence from the list of entrants for the Miami Open has dashed hopes of seeing him in both Sunshine Doubles events. The top 77 players including Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and others are set to compete.

Nadal focusing on his “priority objective” for the 2024 season is likely to make his comeback at the Monte Carlo Masters emphasizing his preference for clay.

Despite a recent ankle injury at the Rio Open, Nadal is expected to participate in The Netflix Slam against Carlos Alcaraz and the Indian Wells Open in March.

His flexibility in adjusting his schedule due to unexpected circumstances has become crucial in recent years.
