World No 2 Rafael Nadal has pulled out of next week's BNP Paribas Masters to ensure he is in peak condition for the ATP Tour Finals and the start of the 2012 season.
The Spaniard, who last competed in Shanghai last month, will instead focus on the year-ending event in London which starts on November 20, as well as his preparations for next season.
