Rafael Nadal: Spaniard is forced to end his season early because of injury

Rafael Nadal has been forced to end his 2016 season early as he continues to recover from a wrist injury.

The 14-time Grand Slam champion will not play at the Swiss Indoors in Basel, the Paris Masters, or the ATP Finals.

Nadal, 30, withdrew from this year's French Open because of the injury, which also ruled him out of Wimbledon.

He said the "forced recovery" of returning to compete for Spain at the Olympics in August "has caused me pain since, and now I am forced to stop".

Nadal won gold with Marc Lopez in the men's doubles in Rio, but missed out on a bronze medal to Japan's Kei Nishikori in the men's singles.
