Rafael Nadal will miss next week's Monte Carlo Masters having failed to recover in time from an injury that has sidelined him for months, shortly before top-10 players Carlos Alcaraz and Felix Auger-Aliassime also pulled out of the tournament.
Nadal was forced to skip the Masters 1000 event in Indian Wells last month as well as the Miami Open that ended last week, as he continues his recovery from a hip issue that ended his Australian Open title defence in the second round, in January.
