The star tennis player Rafael Nadal has withdrawn his name from the Laver Cup 2024 on Thursday, September 12. Nadal issued a statement to reveal his ‘disappointment’ and said that there are better players available to help Team Europe deliver the win.
“I’m really disappointed to share that I won’t be able to compete at the Laver Cup in Berlin next week,” Nadal wrote in a statement. “This is a team competition and to really support Team Europe, I need to do what’s best for them and at this moment there are other players who can help the team deliver the win.
“I have so many great, emotional memories from playing Laver Cup and I was really looking forward to being with my teammates and with Bjorn in his final year as Captain. I wish Team Europe the very best of luck and will be cheering them on from afar.”
He joined Novak Djokovic among star players to miss the two-team tournament in Berlin starting on September 20.
