2016 Rio Olympic Games in Brazil Aug 05-21,2016 - Rafael Nadal(Spain) to Play Singles, Doubles and Mixed in Rio Olympics

 

Rafael Nadal committed himself to playing singles, doubles and mixed doubles at the Olympics on Tuesday Aug 02,2016 despite serious concerns over whether or not his left wrist injury will survive the gruelling challenge.

"After discussing it with my team, I have decided I will play everything that I can. We are here and practice has gone well -- more or less," said the 30-year-old Spaniard after an intense, 90-minute training session with compatriot David Ferrer.

"It's not an ideal situation -- there are always risks."

World No 5 Rafael Nadal spent a lengthy period after his practice session on centre court discussing his plans with the team doctor and team captain Conchita Martinez.

Rafael Nadal is scheduled to play doubles with Marc Lopez and mixed doubles with French Open champion Garbine Muguruza.
