The former World No. 1 tennis player Rafael Nadal will miss the next four to six weeks due to a stress crack in one of his ribs, the Spaniard tweeted on Tuesday.
“As it turns out, I have a stress crack in one of my ribs and will be out for 4-6 weeks,” Nadal said, via Twitter English translation. “This is not good news and I did not expect this. I am sunk and sad because after the start of the season I have had such a good time.”
Nadal began 2022 undefeated with 20-straight match wins, which was his best career start in his two-decade career thus far.
