Rafael Nadal fails to commit to ATP World Tour Finals after loss to Viktor Troicki in Shanghai. Rafael Nadal is uncertain whether he will play at next month's ATP World Tour Finals in London after crashing out in his opening match at the Shanghai Rolex Masters. Fourth seed Nadal is heading home to Mallorca earlier than expected after he lost 6- 3, 7- 6 (3) to Serbian Viktor Troicki in the second round on Wednesday. Although Nadal has not yet officially qualified for the elite end- of- season event at the O2 Arena, it would take quite an effort from the chasing pack to deny the Spaniard a place. Rafael Nadal looks disconsolate during his straight- sets defeat by Viktor Troicki. Nadal congratulates the Serb following his 6- 3, 7- 6 (3) success in Shanghai. Troicki triumphed in the clash at the second- round stage of the Shanghai Rolex Masters. But the 3. 0- year- old admits that calling an early end to his 2. Nadal said: 'I don't know what's going to happen in the next couple of weeks. It something that I need to think about and let's see.'I cannot say now what I am going to do during the next month. I'm not sure about my calendar. I'm not sure about the things that I need to do to try to be at 1. I need to speak with my team. I need to speak with my uncle . Maybe that's an opportunity to do it.

Nadal failed to commit to the ATP World Tour Finals in his post- match press conference. The Spaniard raises his hand to his head as he makes his way off court in China'I know what I have to do and I am going to do it. I have two months and a half until the next season starts, so I have two months and a half to put myself at the level that I need to be and I have the confidence that I am going to do it.'For me the season is almost over and I accept that. Just looking about what I need to do to be 1. That's my motivation, that's my goal. I am going to do all the things that I need to do to make that happen.'Nadal dropped down to No 5 in this week's world rankings, meaning that this was the first time in 1. Roger Federer were not part of the top four. Nadal should do enough to qualify for the season- ending World Tour Finals in London. While Federer recovers from a knee injury and prepares for his return in the new year, Nadal knows exactly what technical improvement he needs to make to challenge for the major titles once again. Nadal said: 'I need to recover the forehand. Every time that I hit the forehand, I need to create pain to the opponent, something that is not happening today.'Maybe because I had an injury on the wrist, I am scared. Maybe because I still have some limitation in there.'I need to know what's the best way to try to make that happen. NICK Kyrgios has been slammed as “pathetic” and “a total disgrace” after blatantly tanking in a shocking exit from the Shanghai Masters.If that happens, then for sure I need to recover a little bit the electricity on the legs.'I need to move faster to hit more forehands, but I need to be more confident with the forehand to make that happen. Everything is a cycle. I need to do the things together.'However, the former world No 1 may choose to call an end to his 2.
