Rafael Nadal is not entered in the U.S. Open, as of now joining the recovering Roger Federer in missing the first Grand Slam tennis tournament since the coronavirus pandemic.
The U.S. Open starts as scheduled Aug. 31 without fans.
Nadal won his fourth U.S. Open in 2019, defeating Russian Daniil Medvedev in a five-set final. That moved Nadal within one Grand Slam singles title of Federer’s record 20.
Federer previously announced he is out for the rest of 2020 following a right knee procedure.
