Injured! Nadal ruled out of US Open

Spaniard Rafael Nadal will not be playing at the US Open owing to a wrist injury he's been battling with since his exit from the Wimbledon Open in July.

The 28 -year old took to face book to announce his unavailability to his fans and the entire Tennis world which reads: ''I am very sorry to announce I won’t be able to play at this year’s US Open a tournament on which I’ve played three consecutive finals in my last participations.

''I am sure you understand that it is a very tough moment for me since it is a tournament I love and where I have great memories from fans, the night matches, so many things

''Not much more I can do right now, other than accept the situation and, as always in my case, work hard in order to be able to compete at the highest level once I am back.”

Nadal won the US Open title last year, defeating Novak Djokovic in a keenly contested final.
