Rafael Nadal will miss Spain's Davis Cup semi-final against France next weekend due to the knee injury that forced him to retire at the US Open, the Spanish tennis federation said Saturday.
"Rafa Nadal will not be able to compete in the tie against France in Lille. The knee injury suffered last night (Friday) at the US Open is stopping him from playing this semi-final," Spain team captain Sergi Bruguera said in a statement.
"We hope he recovers soon and we thank him for his support for the Spanish team in the Davis Cup."
"I know what is going on with the knee. I know how I have to work to be better as soon as possible."
He added: "It's tough, these moments, but on the other hand I'm going to keep going and I'm going to keep working hard to keep having opportunities."
