“I’ve had some problems in the last few weeks and I’m a bit at my limit,” said the 37-year-old in an interview with the Spanish television station La Sexta on Wednesday.
After a muscle injury, Nadal had targeted the ATP tournament in Doha (from February 19) for his return. But a start in Qatar will be “very tight,” explained the 22-time Grand Slam winner.
Injury costs Nadal Australian Open
Nadal suffered another injury during his comeback tournament in Brisbane after a year off, which meant he was unable to compete at the Australian Open in Melbourne.

An MRI scan revealed a muscle injury, but not in the area where his serious injury occurred.
“At the moment, every blow, every injury is a setback, not only physically but also mentally,” Nadal explained. The Mallorcan announced that he would “probably make a decision about taking part in the tournament in Doha at the last minute”.
This is what Nadal is planning now
Nadal, on the other hand, has his sights firmly set on the first Masters tournament of the year (from March 6th). “I am 100 percent confident that I will be at Indian Wells, it is a special tournament for me,” he said. But his main goal, according to Nadal, is “to try to start the clay court season in as good a shape as possible.”
At his favorite tournament, the French Open, in June, Nadal wants to show himself in top form again and grab the historic title number 15 – the tennis competitions of the Olympic Games in Paris will also take place at the same location in the Stade Roland Garros.
