Rafa Nadal Pulls out of Wimbledon 2016
Rafael Nadal has pulled out of the 2016 edition of Wimbledon due to a left wrist injury.
The 14-time Grand Slam winner also withdrew midway through last month’s French Open as a result of the same ailment.
Nadal, who has twice triumphed at the All England Club, made the announcement with a post on his official Facebook account.

“Hi everybody. I’m sad to announce that after talking to my doctors, and receiving the results of my last medical revision, I won’t be able to play at Wimbledon this year.
As you can all imagine, it’s a very tough decision, but the injury I suffered at Roland Garros needs time to heal. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to join in the pre-tournament event #TheBoodles at #Stokepark that I attended in previous years.
Thank you all for your support, especially my fans. Your kind messages mean so much to me.”
