Rafael Nadal out of Toronto Masters with Wrist Injury
Tennis Champion, Rafael Nadal has suffered a wrist injury less than a month before the start of the US Open in New York.
Nadal, 28, is the reigning champion and will be out of action for two to three weeks after hurting his right wrist in training on Tuesday.
The Spaniard has pulled out of defending his titles in Toronto and Cincinnati as he works towards a return to fitness in time for the US Open, starting on 25 August.
Nadal, who has not competed since his shock defeat by Australian teenager, Nick Kyrgios in the fourth round at Wimbledon on 1 July, expressed his disappointment at not being able to defend his titles and search of a 15th career Grand Slam crown.
“Unfortunately I injured my right wrist on Tuesday during practice,” the world number two confirmed. “After the tests I have undergone in Spain, including an MRI and checking with my doctors, I will have to stay out of competition for at least two to three weeks.”
