• Chronicle Rafa Nadal reappears almost two months later and suffers to beat Sock: "My foot bothered me more than necessary"

Due to his left foot injury,

Rafa Nadal

will not play the US Open that starts in 10 days and will resign for the rest of the season, as he assured in a statement.

As he commented, he needs to take "some time" since he has been "suffering much more than he should" with his foot injury for a year.

"Hello everyone: I wanted to inform you that unfortunately I have to end the 2021 season. Honestly, I have been suffering a lot more than I should with my foot for a year and I need to take some time. After having discussed it with the team and family it has been made this decision and I think it is the way forward to try to recover and recover well, "explained Nadal.

It will be the second consecutive absence of the winner of 20 Grand Slam at the US Open after losing last year due to the situation derived from the coronavirus pandemic. His left foot injury also prevented him from participating at Wimbledon and the Olympics this year and, in fact, since his defeat in the semi-finals at Roland Garros his activity has been almost nil. This August he played the ATP 500 in Washington, but fell in the round of 16 to South African

Lloyd Harris

.

"It's a year that I've missed things that matter a lot to me, like Wimbledon, like the Olympics, how the United States Open is going to be now, like many other events that are also important to me. And in view of the fact that during this last year I have not had the ability to train and prepare and compete in the way that I really like to do, because I come to the conclusion that what I need is time to recover, "added the tennis player.
