Absage von Djokovic – Nadal trifft auf Teenager

Tennis-Topstar Novak Djokovic (36) lässt in seiner Vorbereitung auf die French Open das Masters in Madrid aus. Der Name des 36-jährigen Serben fehlte bei der Auslosung für das Event, das am Mittwoch beginnt und bis zum 5. Mai läuft. Zuvor hatten serbische Medien bereits berichtet, der Weltranglistenerste werde vor Beginn seiner Titelverteidigung in Paris nur noch beim Masters in Rom aufschlagen. Auch im vergangenen Jahr hatte Djokovic verletzungsbedingt auf die Mutua Madrid Open verzichtet.

Der 14-fache French-Open-Sieger Rafael Nadal (37), der zuletzt in Barcelona sein Comeback gab, trifft zum Auftakt auf den 16-jährigen US-Amerikaner Darwin Blanch. (AFP)
