June 09, 2016 21:30

Rafael Nadal has pulled out of this year's Wimbledon. The 30-year-old was forced to withdraw from the French Open in round three because of a wrist injury and subsequently pulled out of Wimbledon warm-up tournament Queen's.

He wrote on his Facebook wall, "Hi everybody. Im sad to announce that after talking to my doctors, and receiving the results of my last medical revision, I wont be able to play at Wimbledon this year.

As you can all imagine, its a very tough decision, but the injury I suffered at Roland Garros needs time to heal. Unfortunately, I wont be able to join in the pre-tournament event The Boodles at ‪Stokepark‬ that I attended in previous years.

Thank you all for your support, especially my fans. Your kind messages mean so much to me."
