Nadal withdraws from Laver Cup

Rafael Nadal has pulled out of this month's Laver Cup, saying he believes there are "other players who can help the team deliver the win" for Team Europe.

The 38-year-old Spaniard has not played since his defeat alongside compatriot Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals of the men's doubles at the Paris Olympics in August.

A 22-time Grand Slam singles champion, Nadal did not confirm any specific injury or health concerns but he has previously indicated 2024 would be his last season

"I'm really disappointed to share that I won't be able to compete at the Laver Cup in Berlin next week," Nadal said.
