Roger Federer becomes the latest player to withdraw from next week's Rogers Cup in Toronto.

World number one Roger Federer has pulled out of next week's Rogers Cup in Toronto, citing his need for some rest.

The 30-year-old came through a record-breaking match against Juan Martin del Potro at the Olympics on Friday to seal a spot in Sunday's gold medal match against Andy Murray.

"I'm very disappointed that I have to withdraw from Toronto," Federer told the tournament's official website.

"After a long stretch of tournaments, I will need some time to rest. I look forward to coming back to Canada next year."

Rafael Nadal withdrew from the competition on Thursday as he recovers from a knee injury that forced him out of the London Games.
