Heading into the French Open, Nadal hadn't been beyond the third round at his last three majors. The pullout, in relation to this French Open, will be a huge boost to world No. It escalated in Paris and Nadal needed an injection ahead of his match against Bagnis. Nadal withdrew from the French Open on Friday with a left wrist injury, one day after he registered a landmark 200th grand slam victory by crushing Argentina's Facundo Bagnis. Nadal, then, is facing a race against time to play at the next grand slam, Wimbledon, which begins in just over four weeks.
