Rafael Nadal to miss upcoming tournaments due to knee injury

World's number one Rafael Nadal will not take part in Beijing ATP-500 and Shanghai Masters.

“Hi all, as you know I had to retire from my semifinal match at the US Open and this past Monday I visited my doctor in Barcelona, Spain checking my knee condition.

Although this knee pain is nothing new to me, we have decided together my medical and technical team that I won’t be playing the Asian swing in Beijing and Shanghai. I need to rest and recover my knee as always.

I am very sorry I won’t be able to be with all my fans in China as well as the tournament organisers who have always been so supportive with me and my team,” the athlete wrote on his Facebook.

The 32-year-old tennis player has also missed Davis Cup semi-finals against France.
