Rafael Nadal is set to miss Wimbledon to prepare for the Olympic Games, where he will team up with Carlos Alcaraz in a dream doubles partnership.

The news was confirmed by Spain’s Olympic team captain David Ferrer on Wednesday, with Nadal having said last month that it would not be good for his body to switch surfaces from clay to grass.

The 38-year-old made the French Open and Olympics his priorities after returning from a year out with hip problems.

Nadal took to social media on Thursday to underline his intentions.
