I apologize to my fans and ppl who purchased tickets to watch me play live at @MiamiOpen. Sadly, I’m injured and won’t be able to compete.

I have some very disappointing news to share with you regarding the Miami Open tournament. My doctor has strongly advised against play because my elbow injury, that I keep carrying on for months, got worse in the past week. I will do everything in my power to recover and do all the necessary therapy to be able to return on court as soon as possible. Sadly, I won’t be able to defend my title in Miami this week. Believe me, it is as shocking to me, as it is to you. I had incredible run in Miami, I won there my first masters tournament and started my campaign towards the top of the world rankings. No wonder they say that in sport the biggest and most painful defeats come from injuries, and not from opponents. I am lucky that throughout my career I didn’t have many injuries, but I guess that all that I’ve been through physically in the past so many years did leave a mark on my body. I remain eternally grateful for all the love and support I receive from you. Thank you for believing in me #NoleFam

Na žalost, moram da podelim sa vama neke ne baš dobre vesti u vezi sa predstojećim turnirom u Majamiju. Povreda lakta koju vučem već mesecima se prošle nedelje pogoršala do te mere da me je doktor savetovao da napravim pauzu. Učiniću sve što je u mojoj moći da se što pre oporavim, ali na žalost, neću moći da se borim za odbranu titule u Majamiju. Ovo je veliki šok i razočarenje za mene, a znam da ni vama nije svejedno. U Majamiju sam osvojio svoj prvi masters turnir i počeo pohod na vrh svetske rang liste i godinama unazad pravim sjajne rezultate tamo. Ponekad najbolnije poraze u sportu nam zada baš naše telo, a ne protivnik. Uvek sam se trudio da brinem o svom telu i kroz karijeru me stvarno nisu pratile velike povrede i problemi. Ali izgleda da sada moje telo pokazuje posledice svih ovih godina ludog tempa i fizičkih napora koje sam imao. Jako sam zahvalan za svu podršku koju dobijam od vas. Hvala što ste uz mene #NoleFam
