22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal skips Wimbledon to focus on clay-court Olympics preparation.
22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal has announced he will skip Wimbledon this year to focus on clay-court training ahead of the Paris Olympics. The 2008 and 2016 Olympic gold medalist cited the difficulty of transitioning from clay courts to grass as the main reason for his decision. Nadal will compete in the clay-court tournament in Bastad, Sweden, before the Olympics, which take place at Roland Garros from July 27.
