India, June 13 -- Rafael Nadal confirmed on Thursday that he will opt out of the upcoming Wimbledon Championships. The Spanish tennis legend stated that he wants to keep himself fit for the upcoming Paris Olympics, which, he also confirmed, will be his last Games. Nadal took to his official X (formerly Twitter account) to announce his withdrawal from the Wimbledon."During my post match press conference at Roland Garros I was asked about my summer calendar and since then I have been practicing on clay.

It was announced yesterday that I will play at the summer Olympics in Paris, my last Olympics."With this goal, we believe that the best for my body is not to change surface and keep playing on clay until then. It's for this reason that I will miss playing at the Championships this year at Wimbledon. I am saddened not to be able to live this year the great atmosphere of that amazing event that will always be in my heart, and be with all the British fans that always gave me great support. I will miss you all," wrote Nadal.(More to follow.)For any query with respect to this article or any other content requirement.
