Rafael Nadal says that he will skip Wimbledon so that he can focus on clay-court training ahead of the Paris Olympics in July.

Nadal, a 22-time Grand Slam champion and two-time winner at Wimbledon, will participate in the Olympics in the men’s singles tournament, as well as the men’s doubles competition with Carlos Alcaraz, who won the French Open on Sunday.

 

 

Both events will be on the clay courts of Roland Garros, as will the Nordea Open in Båstad, Sweden

Nadal, who turned 38 on June 3, has dealt with injuries to his hip and abdomen over the last two years, which included surgery in 2023. This will likely be his final year on tour and he is eyeing a second Olympic singles gold medal after winning in 2008. He also won doubles gold in 2016.

The Paris Olympics begin July 26 and will run through Aug. 11.
