Tennis: Nadal Withdraws from Montreal Open

Ottawa, August 05 (QNA) - Rafael Nadal withdrew today from the National Bank Open due to his abdominal injury. The competition was set to take place in Montreal next week.
ATP's official website said that the Spaniard aggravated the injury during his quarter-final clash against Taylor Fritz at Wimbledon on July 6. Despite battling through the pain to a remarkable five-set victory against the American, Nadal was later forced to withdraw from his semi-final clash against Nick Kyrgios. Nadal requires more time to recover from the problem, prompting his withdrawal from the hard-court ATP Masters 1000 event in Canada.
