Rafael Nadal announced on social media Wednesday that he will not compete at the US Open. The 38-year-old Spaniard shared that his next event will be the Laver Cup in Berlin.

"Hi all, writing today to let you guys know that I have decided not to compete at this year’s US Open, a place where I have amazing memories," Nadal wrote. "I will miss those electric and special night sessions in NYC at Ashe, but I don’t think I would be able to give my 100 per cent this time.

"Thanks to all my US Fans in particular, will miss you all and will see you another time. Best of luck to all for the always amazing US Open! My next event will be the Laver Cup in Berlin."

A four-time champion at Flushing Meadows, the lefty has earned a 12-7 season record across seven appearances. In the past month, Nadal reached the final of the ATP 250 event in Bastad and made the second round of the Paris Olympics, where he lost to longtime rival and eventual gold medalist Novak Djokovic. Nadal and countryman Carlos Alcaraz reached the quarter-finals in doubles.

Nadal, a part of Team Europe in the Laver Cup, will compete alongside Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas. The Laver Cup will be held from 20-22 September.
