Rafael Nadal pulled out of next week’s Thailand Open due to the abdominal tear that became problematic in Cincinnati and further complicated at the US Open. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who happens to be the defending champion, will now be the top seed at the tournament.
This is a good move for the Spaniard. Why complicate or risk injury in a small tournament? He needs to play less of these tournaments anyway since he consistently does well in the Masters tournaments and grand slams.
The Mallorcan and his people need to be more mindful of his schedule. They should be aware of wear and tear because of the way he plays. The minute he stops doing well in the Masters tournaments and grand slams then he can start playing these tournaments.
Nadal should just play Shanghai and London and focus on healing this year. He can then train in the off season and give them hell in Australia next year where he defends his title.
