In a statement released through the USTA, written in both English and Spanish, defending champion Rafael Nadal has announced he is withdrawing from the US Open:<\/p>\n

“I am very sorry to announce I won\u2019t be able to play at this year\u2019s US Open a tournament on which I\u2019ve played 3 consecutive finals in my last participations. I am sure you understand that it is a very tough moment for me since it is a tournament I love and where I have great memories from fans, the night matches, so many things\u2026 Not much more I can do right now, other than accept the situation and, as always in my case, work hard in order to be able to compete at the highest level once I am back.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“Siento anunciar que no podr\u00e9 participar en el US Open, torneo en el que en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os he tenido muy buenos resultados. Entender\u00e9is que es un momento duro para mi porque es un torneo que me encanta y en el que tengo muy buenos recuerdos, de los fans, de los partidos nocturnos, de tantas cosas. No me queda otra que aceptar que no puedo competir este a\u00f1o y como siempre trabajar para que cuando vuelva est\u00e9 preparado de la mejor manera para competir.”<\/em><\/p>\n
