• Chronicle: Nothing destroys Medvedev

Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal has given up participating in the US Cincinnati tournament, seventh Masters 1,000 of the season, due to accumulated fatigue and thinking about the best possible preparation with a view to the US Open , the last 'Grand Slam' of the year.

"World number two Rafa Nadal, our champion in 2013, has retired from the Cincinnati tournament due to fatigue. Bianca Andreescu also causes low. We wish them both the best and hope to see them next year," the event announced in a statement.

After achieving in Canada the 35th Masters 1,000 of his career, a record number in the history of tennis, the Balearic has decided not to compete in Cincinnati, repeating the same script that followed last season.

Nadal, triple winner of the US Open and semifinalist last year after retiring to Juan Martín del Potro, will look for the fourth title of his career in the American 'big' from August 26, when the tournament will begin in New York.
