Nadal is going to skip Wimbledon, as expected, and instead prepare for the Paris Olympics by entering a clay-court tournament in Bastad, Sweden. The 22-time Grand Slam champion said Thursday, June 13, 2024, he wants to just remain on clay, rather than switching over to grass for the All England Club and then needing to go back to clay.(AP Photo/Anja Niedringhaus, File)
