The 19-year-old from Majorca, whose tendinitis of the left knee caused him to pull out of the tournament in Vienna last week, said the pain in his knee worsened during the weekend.
Given a bye in the first round, Nadal said he would wait until tomorrow to see if the injury improved enough for him to play his second-round match against Victor Hanescu, of Romania

World number two Rafael Nadal could join the list of high-profile withdrawals from the Madrid Masters Series if the tendinitis in his knees does not improve before his opening match on Wednesday. Coach Toni Nadal said that a decision would be taken after consultation with the player's doctor.
The 19-year-old top seed withdrew from the ATP event in Vienna last week. Although he said he was determined to play Madrid tournament the pain in his knees could cause him to drop out again.
"I've been training for a couple of days and the knee is still hurting," said Nadal. "I've had a scan done and it shows that I've got acute tendinitis."
En hij heeft zich voor de zekerheid alvast wel teruggetrokken uit het dubbeltoernooi.
Ik zou het niet erg vinden.
