The official announcement from his side says he will out of action for 2-3 weeks which leaves just about a week out for the US open. I guess he wants to play but I feel there is an equal chance of him pulling out if he doesnt recover in time.

According to the National Post, "Nadal suffered the injury to his right wrist in practice Tuesday. "Nadal is left-handed, but the 28-year-old uses a two-handed backhand. In a statement, he said he would be out for a least two to three weeks."
The New York Times reports that Nadal’s wrist will be casted for two to three weeks.

All Canadian power hitting final lined up at D.C - Raonic v/s Pospisil. Be prepared for plenty of aces...and for ATP to start talking about making the balls even heavier to solve the problems of You Know Who. In spite of ATP's best efforts, the rising stars of tennis are bound to play in a very different way from the current top players - Raonic, Pospisil, Kyrgios, Dimitrov, all of these players are attacking and have a big serve.

Roger Federer's neighbors are making him tear down his kids' playhouse

I wonder whether this is part of that great conspiracy between ATP and "You Know Who"!

"Evidently, Federer lost the fight, which makes sense because he’s always been terrible at challenges." LOL.
By the way, it's not a conspiracy theory but pretend it is if you like. Last year, there was a report in the paper about ATP considering heavier balls just because a few players had started exceeding 150 mph serve speeds. This is ridiculous, tennis was not born the day Rafa decided to play it, you know.

Federer happy to be 'laid-back' going into Rogers Cup
-TSN/The Canadian Press; August 5, 2014
"I feel like I don't really have to prove anything to anybody, even though people are always going to disagree with that," Federer said. "For me it's about how do I feel in practice, how is my motivation, how am I actually really playing, how do I feel it, rather than how is everybody else thinking they see and know it. I can analyze it much more clearer today than I ever have."
