Rafael Nadal Leaves Montreal Due to Abdominal Pain.
In light of his Wimbledon quarterfinal matchup with Nick Kyrgios, Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from the forthcoming U.S. Open warm-up competition in Montreal due to a persistent abdominal issue.
The U.S. Open is scheduled to start on August 29, and the Montreal event runs from August 8–14. “Everything has gone smoothly these weeks, from the vacation days to my following return to training,” he tweeted using Google Translate. I too began training the service four days ago, and following the training yesterday, I experienced some little soreness that persisted until this day.
“We have decided not to travel to Montréal and continue with the training sessions without forcing ourselves.“ I sincerely thank the tournament director, Eugène, and his entire team for the understanding and support they have always shown me, and today was no exception.
“In front of an audience that has always embraced me warmly, I hope to play again in Montreal, a competition I adore and have won five times. At this time, my only option is to exercise caution and consider my health.

Nadal joins Novak Djokovic, who withdrew from Montreal on Thursday because he is not vaccinated against Covid-19 and is therefore not allowed to enter Canada.
Djokovic also will not be able to compete in the U.S. Open later this month.
