"Nine-time winner Rafael Nadal has pulled out of the French Open because of a wrist injury.The Spaniard had progressed to the third round with a straight-sets win over Facundo Bagnis on Thursday - his 200th Grand Slam victory.
"Yesterday I played with an injection," the 29-year-old told a news conference on Friday.
"Yesterday evening I started to feel more and more pain and today I felt I could not move my wrist.""

The implications of this will be interesting. Djokovic will now move into around $1.50- $1.60 imo, Thiem into around $25, Tsonga $40. Other side not really that affected I imagine because either way, they're likely to play the Djoker. Loving my futures that I placed now, cashout is going to skyrocket.

[frugalgambler]

Good news for Djoker futures holders, at least I hope so.

[Lightning]

Djokovic $1.45, Thiem $17, Tsonga $51, other half not affected for obvious reasons.

After the Sharapova shenanigans anyone think this is more then meets the eye?
Seems to be less of a surprise to him then he led on

Rafael Nadal pulls out of French Open with wrist injury

Hope nobody had Nadal futures.

Probably wouldn't have beaten Djokovic but he'd been playing better of late. Would've been interesting to see him make a run.

[DeathAdder]

Doesn't matter, he wasn't winning it anyway. Guy has declined so much I wonder if he thinks about retiring soon. too many injuries and Djoker has his number so he's not going to be #1 again

[hans83]

Nadal lost to murray on clay a couple weeks ago. on fuccing clay, which is his best surface and murrays worst
guy is finished

[jjgold]

Murray will be your winner of this tournament

[Snowball]

Murray will be your winner of this tournament

i got him at +800
would be nice.

[jjgold]

Nobody playing better than Murray

[frugalgambler]

Nobody playing better than Murray

Seriously ? He almost his first two matches to like +10000 dogs. In both matches he was at ~EV live.

curious, are Nadal futures voided or losses?

Another quiet suspension?

Have to be losses Id imagine.

[jjgold]

The only other guy that can win if he stays on top of his game is stand the man

[beefcake]

Woo Woo..My gasquet and Tsonga futures are looking better!! And granollers should send Rafa a fruit basket for allowing him to rise 11 rankings positions and about 70,000

[jjgold]

Gasquet and Tsonga have no shot

Two players that are very limited in how far they can go in a tournament

[frugalgambler]

Granny has had his share of retirements himself.

comments from French ex- minister of sport comes to mind...That Nadal might be juicing.
after hearing what happened with Lepchenko, everything is possible.

[MUHerd37]

If his wrist has been so bad, why was he playing in the earlier clay tournaments? Wouldn't you rest it for the French Open???

[sweethook]

he could have won this

I know he had garbage opponents early but to still beat them easily was my surprise that he had been playing injured those games.
The latest mail I have heard from that court case is Nadal is 100% certain he will win it and any money he wins in damages he's giving to charity. Not that that means much.

[jjgold]

No it would've been a massive massive massive longshot go look at past winners the same few guys every year

he could have won this

[SteveKerrsJunk]

guys body has taken a beating, probably the most physical player on the entire planet. Guy hates losing practice points even, wants to win every point and gives it his all. I miss the young and fresh Nadal in his capris. Damn time flies. He has lost power and speed due to age and combine it with the injuries.
