BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Rafael Nadal says he will miss the Barcelona Open after not recovering from a nagging hip injury. The 22-time Grand Slam champion has been sidelined since January with a left hip flexor injury he picked up at the Australian Open. That knocked him out of the Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo tournaments also. Nadal says in a message posted on Twitter that “I still don’t feel prepared.” The 36-year-old Nadal has won the Barcelona Open a record 12 times. His last victory came in 2021.
