"The evolution of the injury I sustained in Australia has not gone as I would have liked. I have lost goals along the way, and Roland Garros becomes impossible.

What I will try to do is to give myself the opportunity to go back to what could be my final year competing at the highest level."French Open organisers said on Twitter:"We can't imagine how hard this decision was. We'll definitely miss you at this year's Roland-Garros. Take care of yourself to come back stronger on court. Hoping to see you next year in Paris.
In March, Nadal fell out of the top 10 in the world rankings for the first time since 2005 and is currently 14th.
