(Reuters) - Rafa Nadal will decide by the end of this week whether he is fit enough to defend his U.S. Open title after suffering a right wrist injury that ruled him out of two tune-up events, the Spaniard's spokesman said on Tuesday.

"He went for a check (up) today in Barcelona and (the) imagery looks as predicted. He will practise in the next days and decide on Friday or Saturday," his spokesman said ahead of the U.S grand slam which starts later this month.
