Nadal uncertain over Olympic participation

ROME, May 11: World number three Rafael Nadal admitted he is unsure if he will take part in the Summer Olympics in Tokyo as the pandemic remains out of control in Japan just a few months away from the start of the competition. Nadal is set to face Italian sensation Jannik Sinner in his opening match of the Italian Open on Tuesday. Sinner, on the other hand, has had a stellar run over the last one year or so, winning a number of events. “In a normal world, the Olympic Games were always my main priority. In the current world, the Olympic Games are still a priority, but things have changed. We have been for almost year-and-a-half under this pandemic and the only thing I can say it is that I take the decision based in a short term,” Nadal said. (AP)
