Nadal Withdraws from US Open, Citing Fitness Issues

Rafael Nadal has announced his withdrawal from the 2024 US Open due to concerns about his fitness, marking the fourth time in five years he has missed the event. The 38-year-old tennis legend, who has won the US Open four times, stated he would not be able to give his 100% and will next compete in the Laver Cup in Berlin in September. Nadal’s recent struggles with injuries, including a hip injury and abdominal muscle issues, have significantly limited his participation in major tournaments. His announcement follows a disappointing performance at the Paris Olympics, where he lost early in both singles and doubles. While Nadal has not officially announced his retirement, speculation about his future in tennis has intensified. Fans and officials alike expressed their support and hope to see him back in future competitions.
