Miami Open director James Blake says Rafael Nadal ‘will be missed’ following his decision to withdraw from the tournament. Nadal revealed on Tuesday that he would not be travelling to the US for the hardcourt event. “Rafa will definitely be missed at this year’s event, but we understand that a player’s health must remain the number one priority,” Blake told the Miami Herald. “He has so many fans here in South Florida and brings incredible energy and excitement whenever he takes the court. We hope to have him back in Miami next year. “The Miami Open team is excited for the opportunity to welcome an incredible roster of leading players and our devoted fans back to Miami next week.”
