World number three Rafael Nadal has pulled out of this month's Wimbledon and the Tokyo Olympic Games.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion, who won the Wimbledon titles in 2008 and 2010, says he needs to recuperate after a long clay-court season.
He says it's never an easy decision but after listening to his body and discussing it with his team, he understands that it is the right decision.
He adds the goal is to prolong his career and continue to do what makes him happy and that is to compete at the highest level and keep fighting for those professional and personal goals at the maximum level of competition.
