In Indian Wells, an oasis in the heart of the Californian desert, the postcard setting of “Tennis Paradise” took a serious blow, Wednesday March 6, between the withdrawal of the highly anticipated Rafael Nadal, and the appearance of rain which disrupted the first day. While the headliners paraded at a press conference, Rafael Nadal was still waiting at the desk when a press release from the organization announcing his withdrawal came in a late followingnoon obscured by clouds.
“It is with great sadness that I have to withdraw from this incredible tournament. Everyone knows how much I love this place, and how much I love playing at Indian Wells.”declared the 37-year-old Spaniard, quoted in the press release, and three times winner of the competition (2007, 2009 and 2013).
Nadal had ticked off Indian Wells on the path to his hoped-for return to the high level, following an almost blank year in 2023 and a muscle injury in early January.
However, there was hope following his participation in an exhibition match on Saturday in Las Vegas, 4 hours away, once morest his young compatriot Carlos Alcaraz. But the legend with 22 Grand Slam titles felt that this return was premature.
“I worked hard, I took a test this weekend as you know, but I don’t find myself ready to play at the highest level at such an event. It’s not an easy decision but I can’t lie to me and to the thousands of supporters”commented the Mallorcan, who was expected in the first round on Thursday once morest the Canadian Milos Raonic.
At 37, Nadal’s loss further complicates his recovery operation. The Majorcan, who had suggested that the 2024 season might be his last, dreams of being competitive for the clay court season and especially at Roland-Garros for his favorite fortnight (May 20-June 9) then for the Olympic Games in Paris (July 26-August 11).
He missed almost the entire 2023 season and underwent two operations to repair a hip, before announcing his return in December. After playing three matches in Brisbane in January, he had to withdraw from the Australian Open immediately following suffering a muscle injury. When will we see Nadal on court once more? Not lined up in Miami in two weeks, he has a month ahead of him to possibly prepare for the Masters 1000 in Monte-Carlo (April 7-14), the first of the year on clay, before Madrid (April 24-May 5) .
The sky was also sad at the Spaniard’s loss, and the rain, so rare in the Californian desert, disrupted the end of the day, interrupting the matches from 5:30 p.m. (2:30 a.m. Thursday Paris time). A Frenchman, however, managed to slip through the rain but not through the clutches of his opponent. Despite a break in the lead in both sets, Luca Van Assche was eliminated from the start by the Italian Matteo Arnaldi (7-6, 7-6). Since his 3rd round at the Australian Open, the young French hopeful (19 years old) has struggled to find the right fuel (6 defeats in his last 7 matches).
No big name had to snort on Wednesday, the 32 best players being directly qualified for the second round. The British Andy Murray defeated the Belgian David Goffin (6-3, 6-2) and made an appointment with the Russian Andrey Rublev (5th in the world) in the next round.

The Ambassador of Angola to Portugal, Maria de Jesus Ferreira, reaffirmed, on Saturday, in Lisbon, the Government’s commitment to continue working with the Angolan community, to resolve the problems of citizens’ lack of documentation.
The diplomat reported that there are still citizens who lack Angolan documentation, but when they go to consular posts, they are given the necessary information regarding their situation and what steps they must follow to obtain documents.
Maria de Jesus Ferreira reacted to the concerns of representatives of Angolan associations in the Diaspora and students, which have to do with the lack of documentation, legalization and accommodation in Portuguese territory, in a community consultation meeting.
He also highlighted that the diplomatic representation has also provided assistance to students and patients when they request Angolan State facilities.
The Consul of Angola in Lisbon, Vicência de Brito, clarified that the consulate has carried out campaigns so that citizens can process consular cards, ID cards and passports in various areas of Lisbon.
Regarding Angolans imprisoned in Lisbon, Vicência de Brito reported that the Angolan State has been working with the competent entities to resolve documentation problems that many face and that they have also helped with hygiene kits for them.
At the meeting, citizens stated that the number of Angolans has increased and they often arrive in Portugal without any guidance and face difficulties ranging from accommodation, lack of work and problems in their legalization.
The representative of the Quinta do Mocho association, Domingos Cipriano, said that in 2022 they controlled 437 Angolans, with many members, residing in Portugal for more than 20 years, still without any document from Angola.
Maria Daio, from the Association of Angolans on Madeira Island, asked Angolan entities to visit that archipelago, as it has many job opportunities for Angolans and even to exchange exchanges with the Government.
On the other hand, student Aline da Conceição asked the Angolan Government to put into practice the policies created for young people, because they are often left behind in documents.
Speaking to the press, the secretary of the MPLA Political Bureau for Organization and Insertion in Society, Gonçalves Muandumba, made a positive assessment of his working visit to Portugal and promised to take all concerns presented by citizens to the competent authorities.
“It is the orientation of the President of the Republic, João Lourenço, to work with communities in the diaspora, to listen to the concerns and problems they face, and they are heard”, he highlighted.
More than 220 people from 45 Angolan associations and a delegation of current and former Angolan deputies took part in the meeting, led by Gonçalves Muandumba and João “Jú” Martins, both from the MPLA.
