The Spaniard has been out of action since suffering a stress fracture to his ribsduring the Indian Wells Masters. He sustained the injury during his win over Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinals.
While the 35-year-old returned for the final against Taylor Fritz, he was troubled by the pain, often struggling to breathe. Nadal lost the match, and with that, his streak of 20 consecutive wins for the season came to an end.
After a few tests, it was discovered that the Mallorcan had suffered a stress fracture. His doctor ruled him out of action for four to six weeks. However, it seems that the 21-time Major champion is slightly ahead of schedule.
