Rafael Nadal will not play in Basel.

Rafael Nadal's messаge via Facebook:

I sadly announce that I have to pull out of the Swiss Indoors Basel, after seeing my doctor in Spain just after landing from Shanghai, 
I am suffering from an over stressing of the knee and the problems where already present at the tournament in Shanghai which now forces me to take a time off on advice of my doctor.  
After two great weeks in China, with the title in Beijing and the final in Shanghai it is time for some rest. 
I want to send a special message to the many tennis fans in Switzerland which have always showed great support and respect also on my matches with Roger. 
Hope to see you next year.

Tristemente tengo que deciros que no participaré en el torneo de Basilea tras ver a mi médico en España a mi regreso de Shanghai. 
Tengo una carga de estrés en la rodilla (over stressing), problema que ya tenía durante el torneo de Shanghai, y aconsejado por mi médico, me obliga ahora a tomar un tiempo de reposo. 
Después de dos semanas muy buenas en China, con el título de Pekin y la final en Shangai, ahora es tiempo para descansar.
