Rafael Nadal has announced his withdrawal from the upcoming Laver Cup in Berlin, citing the need for other players to support Team Europe more effectively. Although he has faced numerous injuries over the past two years, Nadal clarified that his decision was not due to any current physical issues but rather his desire to do what is best for the team. The 38-year-old tennis legend has not played professionally since the Paris Olympics and has missed three of the four Grand Slam events this year. Nadal has hinted that 2024 might be his final season, adding to speculation about his potential retirement. He expressed disappointment at missing the event, especially as it marks Björn Borg's final year as captain. Team Europe has yet to announce his replacement.
