Spanish world number two Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from next week's Thailand Open due to a stomach injury, the Lawn Tennis Association of Thailand said Monday.

Rafael Nadal, pictured on September 10, has withdrawn from next week's Thailand Open due to a stomach injury, the Lawn Tennis Association of Thailand said

The Thailand Open begins on Saturday and ends with the men's final on Oct 4 at Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani, with prize money of $608,500.

"Nadal has informed organisers that he has an acute rupture of the right abdominal muscle and would like to withdraw from the Thailand Open," LTAT president Suwat Lipatapanlop said.

It is the second time that Nadal has withdrawn from the tournament after pulling out in 2007 with a knee injury.

Suwat said he was disappointed but the tournament would still feature reigning champion Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France, French world number ten Gilles Simon and two-time grand slam winner Marat Safin of Russia. (AFP)

  "Stomach injury;" Sorry, nothing to do with his "lower inventory."Those following his web page know why.Nadal has not much time for following politics, but he has very clever team to take care of all sorts of matters.They have followed how a none elected GOV in Thailand have used his name in all sort of promotion; and as their Tourist AMBASSADOR.Sorry all sports interested Thai, blame your present Minister of Sport and the sort of democracy he stands for, as it is nothing wrong with the health of R.Nadal.
