Rafael Nadal 38 years old, asked for time to think about his future after losing in the quarterfinals of the Paris Olympic doubles with Carlos Alcaraz. Before he lost in the individual, in the second round against the then gold champion Novak Djokovic.
The first big decision, forced by time, was to announce that he would not compete in the US Open, where he entered the protected ranking (9th) from a long-term injury.
“I have decided not to compete in the US Open this year, a place I have fond memories of. I will miss the electric and special evening sessions at Ashe (Central), New York, but I don’t think I can give 100% this time. Thanks to all my fans in the United States I will miss you especially and we will see each other again,” he said on social networks.
And he stressed that “my next event is the Laver Cup in Berlin”, as he assured before leaving Roland Garros. It will run from September 20 to 22, also eliminating the Davis Cup group stage, which will be held from September 10 to 15.
He didn’t show up at the first call, but the captain did David Ferrer He left the door open in case he wanted to try.
