 What's going on everybody welcome back to some breaking news and Rafa Nadal is out of Wimbledon and the summer Olympics He's put out at both tournaments having just played the French open a couple weeks ago losing in the semi-finals to Novak Djokovic He bought out a series of tweets. Let's go read them. This is what Rafa had to say on Twitter Hi all I have decided not to play this year's championship at Wimbledon and the Olympic Games in Tokyo It's never an easy decision to take but after listening to my body and discuss it with my team I understand that it's the right decision The goal is to prolong my career and continue to do what makes me happy This is to compete at the highest level and keep fighting for those professional personal goals at the maximum level of competition The fact that there has only been two weeks between RG and Wimbledon didn't make it any easier on my body to recuperate after the always demanding clay court season They have been two months great effort and the decision I take is focused looking at the mid and long term More prevention of any kind of excess in my body is a very important factor at this stage in my career In order to try and keep fighting the highest level of competition and titles I want to send a special message to my fans around the world for those in the United Kingdom and Japan in particular The Olympic Games always meant a lot and they were always a priority as a sports person found the spirit that every sports person in the world wants to live I personally had the chance to live three of them and had the honor be the flag bearer for my country So there it is Rafa's statement through Twitter a series of tweets giving thanks to the fans as well And by the end of that it sounds like he's not going to play another Olympics Which means in 2024 Rafa might not be around which again, maybe that hints at a little bit of retirement Who knows but it's a smart decision. I think for Rafa not to play Wimbledon He did make the semi-finals back in 2019 So he is going to lose a lot of points from that, but I think it's a smart decision from Rafa I don't think he needs to play Wimbledon and of course the Olympic Games You don't get any points for that anyway He already has a gold medal so it's not a big loss for him in terms of his overall career and he can prolong his career We're probably going to see Rafa back at the US series So the US Open Series when they're playing on the hardcourts back in North America Which is good to see because he has to defend the title from 2019 all those points as well So smart decision from Rafa and we know he's had a brutal clay court season We've watched him play against guys like Sinti Pass and of course Djokovic in that semi-final Those matches were brutal and Rafa is not getting any younger. Let me know down in the comments below Do you think this is a good decision for Rafa or do you think he should be playing Wimbledon? At least play Wimbledon maybe not do the Olympics, but maybe at least play Wimbledon Let me know down in the comments below so we won't be seeing Rafa for the near future He's pulled out of Wimbledon and the Olympics
