Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from the remainder of The Laver Cup, it has been confirmed. The Spaniard arrived in London on Thursday morning and partnered Roger Federer for his farewell match last night.
But the event revealed the 36-year-old will take no further part this weekend, with a tweet confirming: “Rafael Nadal withdrew for personal reasons. He will be replaced by Cameron Norrie." The 22-time grand slam champion explained the reason behind his withdrawal in the post-match press conference.
“I am not doing well. It's been a tough time for me, I hardly slept, I was stressed,” he said. “Luckily everything is okay and I was able to get here.” Norrie is set to contest his first match at the Laver Cup later today against Taylor Fritz.
