Two-time Olympic champion Rafael Nadal on Tuesday became the latest top tennis player to admit that he had not yet decided whether he would participate in the Tokyo Games this summer, still giving himself time to decide according to “circumstances”.
The 34-year-old Spaniard won Gold in the singles in Beijing in 2008, adding another Gold in the doubles with Marc Lopez in Rio de Janeiro five years ago.
“In a normal world I would never consider missing the Olympics. There is no doubt about that,” he said. “Everybody knows how important the Olympics are for me.
“Under these circumstances, I don’t know. Let’s see what’s going on in the next couple of months. But I need to organise my schedule.
Nadal is the latest top tennis star to voice his concerns about the Tokyo Games. On Monday, Serena Williams said she was undecided about going to the Olympics.
