The Majorcan has therefore decided not to participate in Wimbledon to concentrate on the Paris Olympic Games. A decision that Andy Roddick validates.
Wimbledon starts this July 1st and it will be without Rafael Nadal. The Spaniard has decided not to play the English major to try to be as fit as possible for the Olympic Games of Paris. This remains the main objective of the Majorcan, who is well aware that he has more chances on clay than on grass.
Andy Roddick validates Nadal’s choice
During his podcast Served with Andy Roddick, Andy Roddick has returned to this decision of Rafael NadalThe former American player said that this decision was the wisest, even if, according to him, the Bull of Manacor would have had a card to play Wimbledon. “He could have won matches and had a great run at Wimbledon if he had chosen to play, but I understand. Changing surfaces is bad for your body. He made the right decision. I don’t know if I totally believe it, but Wimbledon was maybe his best chance to win a Grand Slam or reach the semi-finals, even if you include clay. In any case, I’m happy that we can see him again at the Olympics.”
