He has not recovered from his abdominal injury Rafa Nadal. The Spanish holder of 22 grand slam titles withdrew from Montreal and announced this in a lengthy message on social media:
“Since my vacation days and my return to training, everything has been going well. Four days ago I started practicing my serve and yesterday, after practice, I felt discomfort that is still there“, he initially wrote and added:
“We decided not to travel to Montreal and to continue training without pushing myself. I sincerely thank the director of the event and his entire team for the understanding and support they always show me. Today was no exception.
I hope to play in Montreal again. It is a tournament that I love and I have won five times in front of the audience that always welcomes me with special warmth. I have no choice but to be careful about my health right now.”
I hope to return to play in Montreal, a tournament that I love and that I have won in five occasions before a public that always welcomes me with much love. No me queda otra que ser prudente a estas talluras y pensar en la salud.
