Rafael Nadal announced on social media on Wednesday that he will not compete in the US Open. The 38-year-old Spaniard shared that his next event will be the Laver Cup in Berlin.
“Hi everyone, I’m writing today to let you know that I have decided not to compete at this year’s US Open, a venue where I have incredible memories,” Nadal wrote. “I will miss the electric evening sessions at the Ashe Stadium in New York, but I don’t think I will be able to give 100 percent this time.”
“Thanks to all my American fans in particular, I will miss you all and see you another time. Best of luck to everyone at the always amazing US Open! My next event will be the Laver Cup in Berlin.”
Hi all, writing today to let you guys know that I have decided not to compete at this year’s US Open a place where I have amazing memories.
I will miss those electric and special night sessions in NYC at Ashe, but I don’t think I would be able to give my 100% this time.

The four-time champion at Flushing Meadows, who is 12-7 on the season, reached the ATP 250 final in Bastad last month and reached the second round of the Paris Olympics, where he lost to eventual gold medalist Novak Djokovic. He also reached the quarterfinals in doubles alongside compatriot Carlos Alcaraz.
Nadal will also play with Alcaraz on the same team at the Laver Cup, as well as with Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas. The Laver Cup will take place from 20 to 22 September.
