A sensible move from Rafa and a very good news for Roger!
The Nadal had an incredible run in 2013 but he was visibly out of steam not to achieve memorable results in the Asian Swing where he suffered from a tough loss to Novak Djokovic in the Beijing final and he surrendered to Del Potro in the semifinal in Shanghai.
Rafa: I have to regroup my fitness and my body
The Spaniard posted on facebook “Hi all, sorry to announce that I won’t travel to Basel in Switzerland but after very exhausting weeks I have to regroup my fitness and my body,” he wrote. “I will do my best to come back to the Swiss Indoors next year,”
This is a very good news for Roger Federer as he is desperate for points and Rafa is always a horrible obstacle for him.
The King of Clay is still expected to play the last 1000 Master in Bercy.
