Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal has announced that he will not participate in the Wimbledon Championships starting later this month because of an injury he sustained at the French Open earlier. The 30-year-old made the announcement on his official Facebook page.
"I'm sad to announce that after talking to my doctors, and receiving the results of my last medical revision, I won’t be able to play at Wimbledon this year," said Nadal. "As you can all imagine, it’s a very tough decision, but the injury I suffered at Roland Garros needs time to heal."
The 14-time Grand Slam winner pulled out of the French Open after sustaining a wrist injury in his second-round match.
