 Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name is Cam Williams and Rafa Nadal has pulled the pin on the 2021 season. After getting that foot injury a couple of weeks ago, he is not playing for the remainder of the season. He just put out a video about an hour ago explaining the details. Hello everyone, I am very sorry to announce that I will not be able to keep playing tennis during the 2021 season. But as you know, I have been suffering too much with my foot for the last year. I missed a lot of important events for me, like the US Open now, like Wimbledon, Olympics and many other events that are so important and emotional for me. So after coming back from Toronto and I take a couple of days to think about it, talk, I need to talk with my family, with my team and with my doctors, especially to understand what's going on. But the foot is not the proper way today. During the last year I was not able to practice and prepare myself the way that I need to be competitive at the standards that I want to be. So we had to take that decision, but I am confident that I will recover myself 100% and I will be able to fight again for the most important things. The injury is nothing new. It's the same injury that I am having since 2005. In that moment the doctors were very negative about my future career. But honestly, I was able to have a career that I never dreamed about. So I am confident that I will recover again. The foot and if the foot is better, I am confident that my tennis and my mentality will be there again soon. So the other thing that you can be sure I'm going to fight every single day to make that happen, remain a couple of beautiful years, I really think about it. And I hope to see you soon. I want to say thanks in advance to all the fans for all the messages and especially during these hard moments. All the messages are helpful now. So thanks for the support as always. So Rafa is out for the rest of the season pulling out of the US Open. Of course he pulled out of Wimbledon. He pulled out of the Olympics already this year. He's only played two matches since the French Open where he lost to Novak Djokovic a couple of months ago. And it's the foot injury. He hopes he can come back, but he joins a long list now of great players that are not playing for the rest of the year. We have Dominic Teem. He's pulled out with a wrist injury for the rest of 2021. And of course Roger Federer has gone back into knee surgery. So we're missing a lot of good players for the rest of the season. Let me know down the comments below. Do you think Rafa can come back to what we're used to seeing from him? Or do you think he's going to come back and maybe not be the same player that he used to be? If he's got a foot injury, it's going to affect his movement on the court. And that's what he needs to kind of be competitive. You know, movement is the massive part of his game. So do you think it's going to be the same Rafa when he comes back after this foot injury hopefully goes away? So Rafa Nadal joins Roger Federer, Dominic Teem out for the rest of 2021.
