He wrote: ‘Hi all, I have decided not to participate at this year’s Championships 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 is the right decision.’ “Hi all, I have decided not to participate in this year’s Championships at Wimbledon and the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

The 35-year-old Spanish tennis player won the Wimbledon titles in 2008 and 2010.
