Why Nadal decided not to play the Asian Tour
Rafa released the following communicate on the social media
“We decided together with my medical and technical team not to participate in the Asian tour to recover the knee in the way we have always done.
I regret not being able to be with all the fans in China who are so many and with the organizers of the Beijing and Shanghai tournaments who have always had all the attention with me and my team.”
Let’s hope to see him playing the last few tournaments in Europe.
