Rafael Nadal cancels his planned participation in the upcoming Laver Cup.

“I am really disappointed to tell you that I will not be able to participate in the Laver Cup in Berlin next week.” This is a team competition. “To really support Team Europe I would have to give my best, but at this moment there are other players who can help the team achieve victory,” Nadal explained on the Laver Cup X channel.

It is not known whether the 38-year-old Spaniard is injured. A replacement will be appointed soon by the organizer.

The Laver Cup, in which a European team competes against a World team, takes place from September 20 to 22 in Berlin. Nadal was supposed to join the European team coached by Björn Borg, which also includes Carlos Alcaraz and the German Olympic champion Alexander Zverev. For the 22-time Grand Slam winner, who has been repeatedly held back by injuries throughout his career, this is probably the last year on the tour.
