Carlos Alcaraz And Rafael Nadal
In light of Carlos Alcaraz’s right hamstring injury, the Las Vegas exhibition has been postponed. Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal were scheduled to compete against one another in an exhibition match on March 5 in Las Vegas.
Nadal withdrew from the Las Vegas showcase ten days ago. In response, the Las Vegas tournament planners added Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe, with the winner of that match going on to face Alcaraz. But the Las Vegas exhibition organizers decided to call off the event after Alcaraz withdrew from this week’s ATP event in Acapulco due to a right hamstring ailment he suffered last week.

Will Alcaraz and Nadal play in Indian Wells and Miami?

Unfortunately, Rafa Nadal has already pulled out of the tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami. It is not clear if Carlos Alcaraz will be fully fit to compete in the Sunshine Double. It’s a bit ominous that Carlito’s injury is the same one that prevented him from competing during the Australian summer. Therefore, he might take more time off to heal his leg.
