Rafael Nadal says he is pulling out of Wimbledon and Olympics

The 20-time Grand Slam champion pulls out of Wimbledon and the Tokyo Olympics ‘after listening to my body’.

Twenty-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal on Thursday announced his withdrawal from Wimbledon and the Tokyo Olympics “after listening to my body”. “I have decided not to participate at this year’s Championships at Wimbledon and the Olympic Games in Tokyo. It’s never an easy decision to take but after listening to my body and discuss(ing) it with my team I understand that it is the right decision,” Nadal posted on his Twitter account. Earlier this month, the 20-time grand slam champion was knocked out of the French Open at the semi-final stage by eventual winner Novak Djokovic.
