Rafael Nadal Pulls Out of Wimbledon and the Olympic Games

(June 17, 2021) Rafael Nadal announced on Twitter on Thursday that he will not participate at Wimbledon or the Olympic Games. He cites that “the fact that there has only been 2 weeks between RG and Wimbledon, didn’t make it easier on my body to recuperate after the always demanding clay court season.”

The 35-year-old Spaniard said that he is listening to his body in order to prolong his career.

Here are his twitter posts on his withdrawals:

 

The goal is to prolong my career and continue to do what makes me happy, that is to compete at the highest level and keep fighting for those professional and personal goals at he maximum level of competition.

The fact that there has only been 2 weeks between RG and Wimbledon, didn’t make it easier on my body to recuperate after the always demanding clay court season. They have been two months of great effort and the decision I take is focused looking at the mid and long term.

— Rafa Nadal (@RafaelNadal) June 17, 2021

Sport prevention of any kind of excess in my body is a very important factor at this stage of my career in order to try to keep fighting for the highest level of competition and titles.

— Rafa Nadal (@RafaelNadal) June 17, 2021

The Olympic Games always meant a lot and they were always a priority as a Sports person, I found the spirit that every sports person in the world wants to live. I personally had the chance to live 3 of them and had the honor to be the flag bearer for my country.“

— Rafa Nadal (@RafaelNadal) June 17, 2021

The 20-time major champion is just off a loss in the semifinals of the French Open to the eventual winner Novak Djokovic. It was just Nadal’s third-ever loss at Roland Garros. Nadal is a two-time Wimbledon champion and captured the tennis singles gold in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and took home the doubles gold in 2016 at the Rio Olympics.
