 Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name is Cam Williams and Rafa Nadal, the defending champion of the Canadian Open, has pulled out of the event due to the foot injury that he sustained in Washington only a week ago. But let's go have a read of what Rafa had to say about his injury. So this is what Rafa said, I've had this issue for a couple of months as people know. Of course, it is not a happy situation after all the success that I had here in Canada. Not being able to play this year after missing a year. It's a tough one, but that's how it is today. I need to go back and try to find a way to be better again. At the end of the day, for me, the most important thing is to enjoy playing tennis. To date with this pain, I'm not able to enjoy it. And I really don't believe that I have the chance to fight for the things that I really need to fight for. I really wanted to play here a lot, but now is the moment to make a decision. This is unfortunately the decision that I have taken and probably in the next couple of days, we are going to know more. So there it is, Rafa Nadal, he is out of the Canadian Open pulling the pin. He was the number two seed, so Lopez, the lucky loser will come in and take Nadal's spot. And he was actually going to be playing Lloyd Harris in that second round matchup. Unfortunately, we're not going to get to see that replay of what we saw last week. Rafa's been battling this whole career. He's had foot injuries, knee injuries, his whole career. And this just adds another one to that list of injuries. But let me know down in the comments below. Do you think Rafa's going to play the US Open? Because a lot of people think that maybe this is the beginning of the end for Rafa. Obviously have Federer who's also battling with injuries and big question mark over the US Open. If he's going to play that, Dominic Teem also coming back from injury. Novak Djokovic, who knows where he's at physically as well. So Rafa Nadal pulling the pin at the Canadian Open as the defending champion due to a foot injury.
