The Spaniard was unable to defend the Olympic title that he won four years ago in Beijing due to an injury.
Despite his own personal disappointment of not being able to return to Wimbledon for the Olympic competition he tweeted: "Congrats to @andy_murray, Roger and @delpotrojuan. Especially to Andy, I can imagine the joy of doing at home."
Andy Murray stormed to a stunning victory over Roger Federer on Centre Court yesterday as he crushed the world number one 6-1 6-2 6-4 to claim the gold medal.
Nadal was expected to be returning to action this week in the Toronto Masters but he has pulled out of the competition due to the ongoing problem.
Nadal has not been in action since his shock loss at Wimbledon to Lukas Rosol, which came hot off the heels of a great win at the French Open.
Roger Federer will also not be in Toronto after his performance in the Olympic Games over the last week.
David Ferrer, Fernando Verdasco and Gael Monfils have also pulled out of the Masters event.
