Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from the upcoming Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati due to a left foot injury, the tournament announced Wednesday.
The news comes one day after Nadal pulled out of the National Bank Open in Toronto ahead of his second-round match against Lloyd Harris of South Africa.
Nadal is fourth in the FedEX ATP Rankings after winning titles in Barcelona and Rome this season. He also won the title in Cincinnati in 2013.
Also on Wednesday, Milos Raonic of Canada withdrew from the Cincinnati tournament due to a heel injury. He last competed in Atlanta in July.
Raonic, who is ranked 23rd in the world, was the runner-up of the tournament last year when it was held in New York due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Western & Southern Open will begin on Saturday.
