Injured Rafael Nadal has become a forgotten figure at the US Open as the Spaniard rests a wrist injury as he misses the last major of the season.

And to perhaps hide his pain at not competing at the event which he won a year ago, the world number two has turned his focus to the World Basketball Championships currently underway in his home country.

To that end, Nadal has voiced his support for the host team, wishing the Spanish national side the best of luck.

Nadal, one of his nation’s most notable sportsmen, sent his wishes on his Facebook page. He is a good friend of Pau Gasol, the national captain who has watched from the stands during a Nadal title victory at Roland Garros.

Spanish basketball is considered among the world elite, second behind the American NBA. The side won the 2006 World Cup and the London Olympic silver medal.

As for Nadal, his return to tennis is uncertain, with the Spaniard officially entered in Chinese events in Beijing and Shanghai in the coming weeks with little news of progress coming out of the player’s camp.

Editors note. We saw a photo of him on social networks wearing his wrist brace but messing with a jet-ski. Like he had ridden it ? Or help pull the rigging to bring the toy back onto the yacht ? Just saying watching basketball sure sounds better. ….
