LONDON: Rafael Nadal pulled out of the ATP Finals on Monday, admitting he had lost his fitness battle after crashing to defeat in three sets to David Goffin in a thrilling encounter. It really doesn’t make sense.”Nadal said he would work hard to be ready for the start of the next season. The second set went with serve until the eighth game, when Goffin broke to earn a chance to serve for the match, only for Nadal to break back. The elegant Bulgarian had the edge for most of an enthralling contest of one-handed backhands but admitted he felt “pretty nervous” in his first appearance at the ATP Finals. The ATP Finals feature the top eight fit male singles players and doubles teams that have accrued the most points throughout the 2017 season.
