LONDON (AP) Rafael Nadal has pulled out of Wimbledon, citing the left wrist injury that forced him out of the French Open.
The two-time Wimbledon champion says on his Facebook page that he made the decision after consulting with his doctor.
The Spaniard says ''it is a sad decision but the injury on my wrist at Roland Garros needs time to heal.''
