The Spanish tennis player has not played since January due to an injury Rafael Nadal could perform at the next ones Summer Olympics next year despite not meeting the conditions for participation.

He has not played for his national team at the Davis Cup in the last two years, but he could still be at the Olympics in Paris.

Looking back, we know there have been exceptions, and one of them could be decisive when it comes to Rafa's performance.

"If a tennis player has excelled at the Davis Cup or the Olympic Games in the past, that will be enough to ensure the appearance at the biggest sporting event.".

Nadal has a gold medal in singles in 2008 and gold in doubles in 2016 at the Olympics. Plus, Rafa has five trophies in the Davis Cup competition, so he is expected to get a chance to play in Paris as well, of course, provided he is healthy.
