Rafael Nadal pulls out from Swiss Indoors Basel
Nadal said he took the decision as he is suffering from an over stressing of the knee.
"I sadly announce that I have to pull out of the Swiss Indoors Basel, after seeing my doctor in Spain just after landing from Shanghai,
I am suffering from an over stressing of the knee and the problems where already present at the tournament in Shanghai which now forces me to take a time off on advice of my doctor," Nadal said in a statement.
"After two great weeks in China, with the title in Beijing and the final in Shanghai it is time for some rest. I want to send a special message to the many tennis fans in Switzerland which have always showed great support and respect also on my matches with Roger. Hope to see you next year," he said.
Nadal is the current world number one player in the world.
