Rafael Nadal refused the invitation to participate in the contenders’ tournament in Bordeaux
It has been almost 4 months since Rafael Nadal left the ATP circuit due to a serious injury.
The former world number one has announced his withdrawal from a number of major tournaments this year, and the Iberian recently also declined an invitation to play in the Contenders tournament in Bordeaux.
This was announced by the organizer of the competition Jean-Batis Perlan, the tournament is scheduled for May 14-20.
“I gave him one of the wild cards (not Nadal). Carlos Costa very politely replied to me that Nadal continues to train at home in Manacor, that he is not ready and is in a race against time to be ready for Roland Garros.
It would be very difficult. We will already have a lot of people. For some it would be a disappointment (not because Nadal won’t come), for me no.” – reported Jean-Batis Perlan, reports WeLoveTennis.
