Rafael Nadal has announced his withdrawal from the upcoming Laver Cup due to ongoing fitness concerns, stating that he would not be able to perform at his best. The decision comes after his last appearance at the Paris Olympics, where he suffered a defeat in the second round against Novak Djokovic.
The 22-time Grand Slam champion opted to skip the US Open to focus on his recovery and regain full fitness. Nadal had initially targeted a return at the Laver Cup in Berlin, scheduled for September 20-22.
