The day before the Wimbledon semi-finals just under a month ago, Rafael Nadal withdrew from the tournament, with a tear in one of his abdominal muscles.

The idea was that he would make a comeback at the ATP tournament in Canadian Montreal next month.

But it won't be like that.

Won't be a sixth title

The Spanish world number three writes on Twitter that yesterday, after a training session, he got a feeling that still remains today.

Therefore, he has decided not to travel to Montreal to play the event, which he has won five times.

 "I have no choice but to be careful right now and think about my health," he writes.
