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. :sad: 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.

Respectfully,
masterclass

Re: Will Toronto be a washout? Nadal, Ferrer, Verdasco & Monfils withdraw

So far :

- Nadal's, Monfils's and Ferrero's withdrawals are not related to the Olympics

- Verdasco and Wawrinka lost early in the Olympics, we don't know why they withdrew (at least I didn't read that anywhere), that may be an injury, that may be "personal"

- Ferrer I don't know why he withdrew either

and such withdrawals could have happened without the Olympics anyway :shrug:

if there's a "washout", we will know it in next days only.

"Will Toronto be a washout?"

Nope, it'll be the 6th slam right after the 5th slam, Washington.

I wonder which top 10 vulture is going to swoop in now :rolleyes: Just let the youngsters contest this already. Can you imagine if the winner was Tomic/Dimitrov/Goffin ? Fantastic for tennis...

I find it fair if a player withdraws before the draws comes out.Why should he wait until monday or tuesday?

If Kohlschreiber is healthy and plays this tournament, perhaps he could win it. If he wins it he could move up to world #13.

Wow what an idiots Federer and Del Potro playing 4 hours in a tournament same level as ATP 250 and not to be a able to participate in a much more prestigious Toronto Masters, not to mention crying like little girls after the match, no? (Though they probably cried because they couldn't participate in Toronto, no?).

Not surprised.. he is injured after all, but lets face it.. it's not like he would have won this tournament anyway. He's a complete mug on hard court. Might as well withdraw and save the knees for the clay tourneys.. it's all he can win these days.
