RAFAEL Nadal pulled out of the Gerry Weber Open yesterday to rest ahead of Wimbledon.
Nadal said the grueling physical demands of recent weeks, including the French Open, led to his decision to withdraw from the grasscourt event.
The 11-time grand slam winner plays fellow Spaniard David Ferrer in today's French Open final, after coming through a ferocious five-set encounter with top-ranked Novak Djokovic in Friday's semifinal. "After these past months and all the matches I have been able to play my doctors have recommended to rest after Roland Garros," said Nadal, whose place will be taken by wildcard Mischa Zverev of Germany.
Nadal's withdrawal leaves Roger Federer as the favorite to win his sixth title at the Halle tournament, which begins tomorrow.
