Injured Nadal to miss Davis Cup semi-final with France

MADRID, Sept 9, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Rafael Nadal will miss Spain’s Davis Cup
semi-final against France next weekend due to the knee injury that forced him
to retire at the US Open, the Spanish tennis federation said Saturday.

“Rafa Nadal will not be able to compete in the tie against France in Lille.
The knee injury suffered last night (Friday) at the US Open is stopping him
from playing this semi-final,” Spain team captain Sergi Bruguera said in a
statement.
