Nadal abandons latest comeback bid

INDIAN WELLS, United States: Rafael Nadal abandoned his planned ATP Tour comeback at the Indian Wells Masters on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila), saying he was not ready for the demands of tournament tennis on the eve of his opening match in California.

The Spanish icon's bombshell decision came four days after the 37-year-old lost a Las Vegas exhibition to compatriot and world number two Carlos Alcaraz.
