The world’s number one, Rafael Nadal, has withdrawed from the Tennis Masters Cup due to a knee injury on Monday. This is a big deal. The Tennis Master’s Cup is a year end tournament for the top 8 tennis players in the world. The 8 players are split up into two groups and then they participate in round robin play. This way those in each group play each other and then the best of each group play to be the winner. I would believe that this has to be a hard decision for him to make since getting into the Master’s Cup is what you are working towards the whole year. Though I do believe that it is very important to take care of one”s health. You wouldn’t want to have a minor injury that could turn into a major one because you decided to participate any way. The eight that will be participating are:
- Roger Federer
- Novak Djokovic
- Andy Murray
- Nikolay Davydenko
- Andy Roddick
- Jo- Wilfried Tsonga
- Juan Martin del Potro
- Giles Simon
The tournament starts on Sunday.
