22-time grand slam champion Rafael Nadal announced his withdrawal from the Laver Cup in Berlin.
The Laver Cup was supposed to be Nadal's first tournament since the 2024 Paris Olympics and potentially one of his last ever.
Nadal posted on social media: “I’m really disappointed to share that I won’t be able to compete at the Laver Cup in Berlin next week."
He added: “This is a team competition and to really support Team Europe, I need to do what’s best for them and at this moment there are other players who can help the team deliver the win.”
Previously, Nadal withdrew last month from the US Open, which mean he missed three of the four Grand Slam tournaments in 2024.
