 What's going on everybody welcome back to another breaking news story and Rafa Nadal is out of the Rotterdam Open which actually starts Rafa has just bought out a statement reasoning why he's pulled out of the event. So when a statement Rafa has said it is with great sadness that I have to forfeit from Rotterdam. As most of the fans know I suffered some back problems in Australia that started in Adelaide and continued during Melbourne. We found a temporary solution that allowed me to play without pain in the second week of the tournament. Once I got back to Spain I visited my doctor and together with my team they advised me not to play this upcoming week. So back problems the back problems that took Rafa out of the HB Cup remember he didn't play any of the HB Cup he played the exhibition tournament in Adelaide which he referred to in that statement and then through this round open he looked okay but as you can see there he's clearly not okay wrapped with the back problems and he's also pulled out of Acapulco which is the defending champion off from last year he wasn't meant to play that tournament he was never scheduled to play but he's pulled out of Rotterdam and that's a big shame I mean it's a big blow to the tournament but it still has players like Medvedev, Sitsipas and Zverev so it's not the worst event in the world but without Rafa up the top it does make the tournament a little bit smaller than it would have been had he had played. So let me know down below what do you think about this do you think Rafa is going to be coming back anytime soon do you think you'll wait it out until maybe the start of the clay season which happens in April of course Monte Carlo a tournament that he's won a bunch of times or do you think Rafa is going to come back maybe in Miami at the end of March so Rafa he's out of Rotterdam with the back problems that hurt him during Australia
