Rafael Nadal's Olympic Participation in Doubt

Rafael Nadal's participation in the Paris Olympics is in jeopardy due to a thigh injury, according to his coach Carlos Moya. Nadal, who has not competed since the 2022 French Open due to a hip injury, experienced discomfort during training and opted to rest rather than risk worsening his condition. He is scheduled to compete in both singles and doubles, partnering with Carlos Alcaraz, but Moya has indicated that they are taking a cautious approach to his recovery. Nadal's first singles match is against Hungary's Marton Fucsovics, with a potential second-round clash against rival Novak Djokovic if he progresses. Moya emphasized the importance of rest and treatment, stating that Nadal is eager to compete but the priority is his health. The uncertainty has raised concerns among fans and the Spanish team as they await updates on his condition.
