The Spaniard had suffered a 7mm abdominal tear during his Wimbledon quarterfinal against American Taylor Fritz, which he went on to win 3-6, 7-5, 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (4). With tests revealing the severity of the injury, he withdrew from the tournament ahead of his semifinal match against Nick Kyrgios, granting the Australian him free passage to the title clash. Nadal was scheduled to make a comeback at the National Bank Open in Canada, which gets underway on August 5. He even began preparations at his academy in Mallorca. However, with everything not smooth-sailing, the 36-year-old took to Twitter to withdraw from the tournament he has won five times.

Besides Nadal, his arch-rival Novak Djokovic also withdrew from the hardcourt competition in Montreal because of his decision to remain unvaccinated against COVID-19, which makes him ineligible to enter Canada. Djokovic's fans took to Twitter to express their opinion on the Spaniard's decision to withdraw from the prestigious hardcourt tournament. Some of them made fun of him for playing in competitions in the hopes that he wouldn't get hurt beforehand, and some even suggested that he should retire. One user mocked Nadal by stating that he couldn't import his drugs into Canada. "Nadal couldn’t get his drugs into Canada," one fan said.
