Nadal to travel to ATP finals despite injury

Rafael Nadal has said he would travel to the ATP finals in London after undergoing a scan on an abdominal injury that forced him to retire from last week’s Paris Masters at the semi-final stage.

“Yesterday I had a scan in Mallorca and despite having a small strain in my right abdominal, I will travel to London.

“On Thursday or Friday I will start training on my serve and my aim is to be able to play the ATP Finals in London. Thanks for your support,” the world number one said in a statement on his official Twitter account on Tuesday.

Even though he withdrew from his semi-final tie with Denis Shapovalov, Nadal’s run to the last four in Paris saw him reclaim the number one spot from Novak Djokovic on Monday.

The ATP finals take place between Nov. 10-17.
