Tennis legend Rafael Nadal is waiting for the last Olympic game of his career. Paris Olympics is going to be his last participation. Nadal has played three Olympics before. Missed two due to injury. He won the gold medal in singles in 2008 and the same medal in doubles in 2016. This Spanish magician is hoping for the highest prize in the last Olympics of his career. This time Nadal will participate in singles and doubles.
The tennis superstar believes winning a gold medal is more important than winning a Grand Slam. ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’ – Nadal wants to end his life by winning gold in the famous Olympics. He feels lucky to participate in this competition for the third time.
‘It’s great to have the biggest sporting event in the world. I feel so lucky. This is my last Olympic participation. Missing London 2012 and Tokyo 2020 hurt me more than missing the Grand Slam. I won the Beijing Olympics in 2008 which is a bigger achievement than any Grand Slam. You can connect with something big. The joy of returning from this stage with a medal is never to be forgotten.
He will be partnered in doubles by compatriot Carlos Alcaraz.
Winning gold at the Olympics is a great honor for any athlete. Nadal got this pleasure by winning two medals. Another tennis superstar, Novak Djokovic, often talks about winning a medal at the Olympics. Despite winning many Grand Slams, he still has medal regrets at the Olympics. In the twilight of his career, Nadal is looking forward to receive this award once again. To see if France gives him that gift.
