Nadal pulls out of Toronto; no return date set

Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from next week’s Rogers Cup in Toronto, the tournament announced. Nadal, who has tendonitis in his left knee, also pulled out of the Olympics with the same injury.

Nadal recently told Reuters Television recently that he would not commit to a return date. "The tournaments never stop so I will try to be ready for the American season but you never know you have to work hard every day and see, go day by day and see how it improves,"  he said. "I will compete when my knee says I am ready to compete. I don't want to go on court with bad feeling because then it is terrible."

Additional withdrawals are David Ferrer, Gael Monfils and Fernando Verdasco.
