- Very happy to play again in Cincy: Rafael Nadal
Rafael Nadal boosted his hopes of competing at the US Open on Wednesday by announcing he will play in next week’s Cincinnati Masters. Nadal opted out of the US Open tune-up event in Montreal with the same strain that has limited his service motion and forced him to forfeit his Wimbledon semi-final last month.
“Very happy to play again in Cincy. Flying there tomorrow,” the 36-year-old wrote on Instagram.’
Nadal, who has won a men’s record 22 major titles, will be the only one of tennis’ Big Three in the draw of the hardcourt tournament as rivals Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic will both be absent.
Federer is still undergoing rehab after undergoing knee surgery while Wimbledon champion Djokovic is unable to compete in the North American tournaments due to his refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19, which prevents him from entering the two countries.
