JUST IN: Rafael Nadal has pulled out of the U.S. Open and says he will not play tennis again this year because of a nagging foot injury.
“During the last year I was not able to practice and prepare the way I need to be competitive at the standards I want to be,” he said. “The injury is nothing new. It is the same injury I am having since 2005. In that moment the doctors were very negative about my future career, but honestly I was able to have a career I was unable to ever dream about, so I am confident I will recover again.”
Nadal insisted that he is “going to fight every single day” because he is convinced that he still has “a couple of beautiful years” left in his career.
