Nadal withdraws from Wimbledon and Tokyo 2020
Agency :
Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from both Wimbledon and the Tokyo Olympics.
The Wimbledon main draw is set to start on June 28, while the first round of the men’s singles in Tokyo gets under way a month later on July 24.
Nadal lost his French Open semi-final to eventual winner Novak Djokovic last week, and the 35-year-old said the two-week gap between Roland Garros and Wimbledon “didn’t make it easier on my body to recuperate after the always demanding clay court season”.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion added on Twitter: “It’s never an easy decision to take but after listening to my body and discuss it with my team I understand that it is the right decision.
