Nadal: "It's the most important event in sport".
Rafael Nadal is going to have to get on with it.
An unfortunate finalist in Bastad, the Spaniard needs to get his head on straight away, as the Olympic Games kick off in just a few days' time.
On the eve of representing Spain in both singles and doubles, the Majorcan has made no secret of his enthusiasm. And with good reason! This year, the Olympic Games take place in Paris, and more specifically at Roland-Garros, the venue of 'Rafa's' greatest career exploits.
In a statement relayed by "Punto de Break", he explains: "I'm very excited to be part of the Olympic team and to represent Spain.
It's the most important event in the sport and I hope I can find the necessary energy and train well.
I know that if I can produce good tennis in singles, it will also be good in doubles, but I need to analyze what happened this week and work hard.
I'm convinced that Carlos Alcaraz (his doubles partner) is going to be at a very good level because he's coming in with confidence. We'll be training together this week.
