Nadal, who won men’s singles at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 but has battled knee tendinitis.
“I do not find myself in a condition to compete,” he said, adding: “I have to think about my companions. I can’t be selfish, and I have to think of what’s best for Spanish sport, especially tennis and Spanish players, and give fellow sportsmen with better preparation the chance to compete.”
