Rafa Nadal will not defend his US Open title won in 2019 in New York. The 'number two' of the ranking confirmed that, "after much thought", he will not participate in the first 'major' of the season because "the health situation is still very complicated worldwide with Covid-19 cases and outbreaks that seem out of control. "
"This is a decision I would not want to make, but in this case I follow my heart to decide that for now I prefer not to travel," argued the winner of 19 Grand Slam tournaments. At the moment, Novak Djokovic , his great adversary for the last two seasons, does appear on the official list provided by the New York tournament.
Just a couple of hours after the Mutua Madrid Open confirmed the definitive cancellation of its edition in 2020, Nadal also admitted that the "situation is difficult to do tournaments". After these four months without playing, the 12-time champion of Roland Garros described the calendar for this season as "outrageous."
