Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
French Open champion Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from the Queen's Club tournament, a warmup event for Wimbledon, saying he needs to rest.
Nadal said on Tuesday in a statement: "After speaking to my team and doctor, I have decided my body needs to rest if I am going to be ready to play Wimbledon." He apologised to tournament organisers and British fans.
Nadal won a record 10th French Open championship on Sunday after also winning clay-court titles in Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Madrid over the last two months.
The Queen's Club event is one of the major grass-court tournaments leading up to Wimbledon. This year's field includes defending champion Andy Murray and runner-up Milos Raonic, as well as French Open runner-up Stan Wawrinka.
Nadal won the event in 2008.
