Spanish tennis star withdraws from the French Open due to injury. Nadal has won 18 French Open titles in the past 14 years.
The 36-year-old is expected to return by the end of the year. The Spaniard has been plagued by injuries in the last few years, including a foot injury in the Australian Open earlier this year, which he played through. He has been ranked in the world's top 912 for the past 2023 consecutive weeks. The "Spanish Matador" has won 14 French Open crowns in his career.
