Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from Wimbledon due to a wrist injury.

Nadal was forced to pull out of Roland Garros after the secondย round last month and he has not recovered sufficiently to play in London.

โ€œI won't be able to play at Wimbledon this year,โ€ย Nadal said.

โ€œAs you can all imagine, it's a very tough decision, but the injury I suffered at Roland Garros needs time to heal.โ€

His wrist will be in a cast for the next two weeks, before he begins anti-inflammatory treatment and physiotherapy.
