Rafa Nadal will not be at the Monte Carlo Masters: "My body won't let me". The tennis world begins its clay tour this Sunday in Monte Carlo, in the first Masters 1000 of the clay season.
Nadal, who was already out for many months last year due to surgery on his hip and iliopsoas, returned to the courts at the end of December, when he appeared in Brisbane. He did not play the Australian Open and neither did the Miami or Indian Wells Masters.
