Rafael Nadal announced his withdrawal from the Nitto ATP Finals on Monday night after a 7-6(5), 6-7(4), 6-4 loss to David Goffin in his opening round-robin match.

Q. You were clearly playing through a lot of pain. The main question is, will you be able to play on for this week or not?

But I am really not ready to play, no? I really fighted a lot during the match, but knowing that probably was a big chance to be the last match of the season. That what's going to be.

Rafael Nadal withdraws from 2017 ATP Finals and ends his season

 

Rafael Nadal announced his withdrawal from the Nitto ATP Finals on Monday night after a 7-6(5), 6-7(4), 6-4 loss to David Goffin in his opening round-robin match.

The Spaniard will be replaced in the event by his compatriot and first alternate Pablo Carreno Busta, who will take Nadal’s spot in Group Pete Sampras. Nadal withdrew due to a right knee injury just two weeks after pulling out of the Rolex Paris Masters, also because of his knee.

"I had the commitment with the event, with the city, with myself. I tried hard. I did the things that I had to do to try to be ready to play," Nadal said. "But I am really not ready to play. I really fought a lot during the match, but knowing that [there] probably was a big chance to be the last match of the season."
