Rafael Nadal pulled out of the Indian Wells Masters before his first-round match against Milos Raonic, feeling he wasn't ready for a return to the ATP Tour just yet. His decision followed his involvement in an all-Spanish exhibition match in Las Vegas called the 'Netflix Slam' on March 3, where he played against Carlos Alcaraz.

Nadal withdrew from the ATP Masters 1000 tournament but remained in California to practice on claycourts, albeit green. He shared the clips on Instagram, delighting his fans ahead of the Monte-Carlo Masters (April 6-14) where he entered the main draw with the help of his protected ranking.

After her win against Kerber, Wozniacki attended a press conference and expressed her admiration for her friendship with the German, stating that it would last a lifetime.

"Yeah, I mean, we talk all the time, and I think that's a friendship that hopefully is going to last a lifetime. You know, we have known each other so many years. Obviously been competing against each other on the court but always been very good friends off the court," Wozniacki said.

The former Australian Open champion, who is a mother of two, also shared how she supported Kerber during her pregnancy. The German welcomed her first child, a baby girl named Liana, in February last year.

"She's always just supportive of what I want to do and how I do things. I think, you know, kind of having my first child before her, you know, I think she had a lot of questions too about motherhood and stuff like that. So always happy to share what I know," Caroline Wozniacki said.
"But again, you know, everyone is different and everyone goes through everything in a different way. You know, it's just nice to see her back on tour, as well, and thriving," she added.
