In his statement, he said: “I want to tell everyone, I regret that I must end the 2021 season.

An amateur golf tournament held in Mallorca on Japan, this was seen as a signal that he intends to give up playing the US Open.
Nadal said in the latest statement that he hopes to find a solution to the foot injury or at least reduce the impact of the foot injury, so as to facilitate the next few years to continue to play in the world tennis arena.

I believe that this can be achieved with the recovery of the foot injury.”
After playing the French Open this year, Nadal has been absent from Wimbledon and the Tokyo Olympics. He originally planned to make a comeback in the North American hard court season. Obviously he hasn’t found the feeling of actual combat. Not long ago, he announced that he would withdraw from the Toronto Masters due to a foot injury. This year’s U.S. Open kicked off on August 30, and the latest foreign media reported that not only did Nadal not return to the training ground to resume training, but he also signed up for an amateur golf tournament, which was held in Malaysia from August 21 to August 22. It was held on Lorca Island, and foreign media speculated that this was a signal that Nadal did not want to go to the United States to participate in the US Open.

So far, Nadal, Federer, Tim, Wawrinka, Churich, Wang Qiang, Zheng Saisai, Zhu Lin and many other players have decided to withdraw from this year’s US Open competition. (Red)Return to Sohu to see more
