Rafael Nadal says in his facebook page that he is out of Toronto.
Hi all, wanted to let you know that I won't be playing Toronto this year. I am not ready to play and I hope to be back in 2014 at that great tournament that has always treat me very well. I am continuing with my recup and practice. Thanks!
Unfortunate for him. We should all wish him well and a speedy recovery. He's important to the game.
It doesn't seem the same without him in the mix.
I expect he'll be in Cincy, no way would he go into US with no prep. Courts aren't the best for him there, but he definitely needs matches. Maybe he'll ask for a Winstom-Salem WC

Agreed. With his game, I think he needs about 10 matches on hard court to be ready against the top players. If he can't get 4 matches in at Cincy, then I doubt he'll be prepared enough for the US Open, unless he does play Winston-Salem.
But who knows, right? I think now his priority is to get healthy, not to rush himself to get back out there and do more damage.
I have a feeling retirement might be on the horizon... He's established himself as the GOAT on clay (at least in terms of achievements), and ended the losing streak to Novak. If his body is telling him it's time to retire then he should listen to it, because really, he has nothing left to prove. :shrug:

not surprised about Monfils, but Verdasco and Ferrer a little. One more withdrawal in the top 20, and Roddick will be seeded. Also Ferrero is out, sadly i think it's done for him.
With Djoko, Federer, Murray, and Tsonga still playing in Olympics and has to play 2 matches each, Berdych could be the top seed. I think they should have done what Montreal did of a Monday Final and seeds not playing til Thursday.
Well, Ferrer is still in the doubles competition at the Olympics so the withdrawal makes sense.
Kohli could also withdraw I think (because he withdrew from the Olympics as well), then out of the guys who are still at London the most of them will probably withdraw, too.
that is well known and obvious..... you are a fool if you doubt a player when they actually are missing events and well recorded of seeing doctors and doing recovery methods.
it has been a very slow healing of his body, which often happens as players age more
tournaments director has to be thrilled. Fed is for sure out, finalists will be also 99% out, probably all semi finalist, Tsonga already looked exhausted in today's match and still has to play two doubles matches, ferrer also playing two doubles matches. should be decent quality Masters 250 tennis in Toronto

Re: Ferrer, Verdasco & Monfils withdraws from Toronto
Almagro should withdraw as well, or has he already? I don't know what he's been thinking playing these last few tournaments injured and clearly in pain, though at least the effort in the Olympics was understandable and I think worth it.
