After Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal will have to cancel next week’s Masters 1000 tournament in Montreal.

The reason for this is an injury to the abdominal muscles that made him lose before the Wimbledon semi-finals.

“I’ve been training at no charge for some time now and started serving four days ago,” said the Grand Slam record champion with 22 titles. “Yesterday I had a slight pain in my stomach and it still is today.” So the 36-year-old Spaniard, after consulting his doctor, decided to take this precautionary measure.

A day earlier, Novak Djokovic had to be canceled because he was not vaccinated against COVID-19 required for entry into Canada and the United States.

Desde los days de vacaciones y mi posterior reincorporation a los entrenmientos todo ha ido bien estas semenes. Has Cuatro Days Que Empes Tambien a Entrainer El Servio y Aire, Trus El Enternamiento, Tuve Una Pequena Molestia Que Hoy Seguia Ahi.
