Nadal's ankle still a concern in Miami Open

Xinhua, March 24, 2015 Adjust font size:

Rafael Nadal's ankle is still a hanging concern for his bid to win the ATP Miami Open title after he failed to finish a workout on Monday.

"Rafael Nadal felt earlier today and didn't finish the practice. It looks like his ankle is OK however we will see how things evolve," his spokesman tweeted.

Nadal is coming off a run to the quarterfinals at Indian Wells, where he lost to Canada's Milos Raonic.

The world No. 3 is a four-time Miami runner-up, losing to current world No. 1 Novak Djokovic of Serbia in the 2011 and 2014 finals, Russia's Nikolay Davydenko in the 2008 and Swiss star Roger Federer in the 2005 title matches.

Nadal will have a first-round bye in this week's start to the Masters Series event and open against the winner between Ukraine's Sergiy Stakhovsky and Spain's Nicolas Almagro, with ninth-ranked Czech Tomas Berdych a potential quarterfinal rival. Endi
