Rafael Nadal withdraws from Paris Masters with knee problem
Last updated on .From the section Tennis

World number one Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from the Paris Masters with a knee injury.
The Spaniard was due to face Serb Filip Krajinovic in the quarter-finals on Friday, but pulled out with a right knee problem before the match.
Nadal had the knee strapped during his third-round win over Pablo Cuevas.
Juan Martin del Potro missed out on securing the final qualifying spot for the ATP World Tour Finals as he was beaten 6-4 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 by John Isner.
Nadal said he would "do his best" to return for the season-ending event in London, which takes place from 12-19 November.
"For me it's not about London. For me it's about the longer term," he added.
"And longer term, I'm going to do the treatment I believe that is going to be more safe and more important to keep playing tennis as long as possible."
Argentine Del Potro had to win to feature in London, but American Isner ensured he stayed in contention for the World Tour Finals with a hard-fought victory in two hours and 12 minutes.
Either Isner, compatriot Jack Sock and Spain's Pablo Carreno Busta will take the final qualifying spot.
However, Del Potro will return to the top 10 in the world rankings on Monday for the first time since July 2014 at the expense of Novak Djokovic.
The Serb 12-time Grand Slam champion will drop out of the top 10 for the first time since 2007.

Hope to see him at the O2!
Hopefully this is precautionary and we’ll have some epic Fed vs Rafa moments again next season.
Rafa has never won the tour Final By this stage of the season he is always struggling physically due to the style of his game
Federer last man standing at Tour Final although he is nursing a bad back
My respect to Nadal for his achievements this year. Specially at this age.
@ Buzfuz
I think Del Potro is a favourite with all tennis fans.
On a side note his done my bet a favour, hopefully JMDP can reach the final now
You yourself might be taking some kind of substances to make such absurd comments.
Have any one of the top players, apart from Sharapova, been found guilty of such acts.
Sometimes its best to keep ourselves away if we have evil / twisted / poisonous minds rather than contaminate others.
