Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz
Rafael Nadal pulled out of the clay-court Monte Carlo Masters on Tuesday, saying he is not yet able to compete at the highest level.
The 22-time Grand Slam champion has been sidelined with a left hip flexor injury since the Australian Open. The Monte Carlo Masters begins on April 8.
Second-ranked Carlos Alcaraz also withdrew from the event because of "physical discomfort" after his semi-final loss in Florida last week.
