Rafa ready for London

-

RAFAEL NADAL will be fit for the ATP Finals in London next week.

The World No.1 pulled out of the Paris Masters before his quarter-final match last week after experienci­ng discomfort in his right knee during an earlier win over Pablo Cuevas.

It raised fears the 16-time Grand Slam champion would join a long list of stars, including Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic, who are already sidelined for the season finale.

But Nadal’s coach Carlos Moya said: “Rafa is fine – the knee is OK.

“He stopped just to take no risks. Rafa will be competitiv­e in London because it’s the only big tournament he hasn’t won.”

Nadal is due to start his ATP Finals challenge at The O2 on Monday against Belgium’s David Goffin.
