Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from the Masters 1000 event starting next week in Indian Wells because of injury.
The 22-time Grand Slam champion was expected to be out for six to eight weeks with a hip injury that hampered his defeat by Mackenzie McDonald.
"We wish Rafa continued healing and hope to see him back next year," said Indian Wells director Tommy Haas.
Nadal won at the California event in 2007, 2009 and 2013, and lost in last year's final to American Taylor Fritz.
