Rafael Nadal has postponed his come back to the court again and the choice could cost him dearly in the world rankings, in which he currently occupies 14th position.

In fact, the Spaniard will now need an important result at the Roland Garros in order not to lose ground heavily in the standings and even risk dropping out of the top 100.

The reason is mathematical and quite simple. The Majorcan champion currently has 2535 points and 2000 will expire in the next French Open, which he won in the 2022 edition.

Without those points, the winner of 22 Grand Slam titles would now be in 116th place. Now it becomes important for Rafa to recover the best physical condition to present himself at the top in Paris: the goal he has had in mind for so many weeks now is to reconfirm himself as the winner of the prestigious tournament, but an important and solid performance will be needed.

The Spanish fans, who in the meantime are enjoying an increasingly fit Carlos Alcaraz, are terrified by the incredible hypothesis and hope not to find Nadal in condition at the Roland Garros to play for his great chances.

The competition will be fierce, starting with the young compatriot and the Serbian Novak Djokovic, without forgetting Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas and other tennis players, such as Jannik Sinner himself, who could block the path of the Iberian.

Nadal and the announcement of withdrawal from Rome

Rafael Nadal's exit from the top 100, but also from the top 50, would be sensational news for the entire tennis movement, accustomed to the impressive regularity of the Spaniard.

The decision to skip the Italy internationals could weigh heavily but allow him to express himself at his best in France. "Hi everyone, I am sad to announce that I will not be able to take part in the tournament in Rome. You all know how much it hurts me to miss another of the tournaments that marked my professional and personal career and I am sorry for all the love and support of Italian fans.

Although he has noticed an improvement in the last few days, many months have gone by without being able to train at a high level and the recovery process takes his time. I have no choice but to accept this situation and continue to work as I am doing."
