Surgery ends Nadal’s season
Print Edition
RAFAEL Nadal will have season-ending appendicitis surgery next month, ruling him out of the upcoming Paris Masters and the ATP World Tour Finals in London.
Nadal announced the decision on Friday after losing 2-6, 6-7 (4) to 17-year-old Borna Coric in a sub-par performance in the quarterfinals of the Swiss Indoors in Basel. He said he made the decision last week to undergo surgery on November 3, and that his 2014 season is over.
“It’s the day to say goodbye to the season,” Nadal said. “It’s been a very hard year for me, mentally and physically. I’m not going to play Paris and London, I’m not competitive enough for that. I need to do the surgery for my appendix.
“I need five weeks of rest and I want to have one month to try to work as much as I can to be ready for 2015.”
Paris Masters organizers had earlier said Nadal pulled out of the tournament next week for “personal reasons.”
The Spaniard needed treatment for appendicitis this month in Shanghai.
