Wrist injury keeps Rafa on sidelines

Rafael Nadal will miss Wimbledon after failing to recover from the wrist injury that forced his early withdrawal from the French Open, the Spanish star said on Facebook on Thursday.

"I'm sad to announce that after talking to my doctors and receiving the results of my last medical revision, I won't be able to play at Wimbledon this year," wrote the 30-year-old, who is desperate to be fit for the Rio Olympics in August.

"As you can all imagine, it's a very tough decision, but the injury I suffered at Roland Garros needs time to heal."
