Did Nadal pull out of Barcelona because he’s injured?

Question

Did Rafael Nadal withdraw from playing at the Barcelona Open because he was injured? He’s got those dodgy knees...

Answer 1

Nadal has said that he’s withdrawn as a preventative measure. “I feel fine right now, but I have had many problems in this last year and can’t afford to take any risks if I want to be in my best possible condition on court. That’s my main objective,” Nadal said.
