World number two Rafael Nadal has pulled out of next week's Thailand Open as he continues to recover from an abdominal injury.

The Spaniard, 23, suffered a heavy defeat by Juan Martin del Potro in his last outing in the semi-finals of the US Open on 13 September.

Nadal was hampered by the injury at Flushing Meadows and withdrew from Spain's Davis Cup semi-final last week.

An ultrasound found he has an "acute rupture of his right abdominal muscle".
