Rafael Nadal will return to competition ATP Masters 1000 Montecarlo 2023 and his return will have a significant handicap, both for him and for his rivals. And it is that the Balearic tennis player will be the great bogeyman of the drawing draw in the Monegasque event since he will start as seed much later than usual. He already knows that he will have to play the first round, from which only the first eight seeds are exempt, but he does have this condition assured, since there are a total of 16 seeds. Analyzing the current situation of the ranking ATP, we realize that the most backward position in which Rafa can arrive is, precisely, 16th in the world, something that would mean his departure from the top-15. Tiafoe, Khachanov and Davidovich are the tennis players who can surpass him in the remainder of Miami Open 2023.
