Olympicsxsporty-Rafael Nadal confirmed on Friday that he intends to play at Wimbledon for the first time in three years.

Nadal, who won his 14th French Open title earlier this month, will attempt to win a record-extending 23rd Grand Slam title at the All England Club this year.

Mueller-Weiss syndrome, which causes chronic discomfort in his foot, affects the 36-year-old. At Roland Garros, the world No. 4 claimed he had been getting repeated injections into a nerve to numb the discomfort, but that he was going to see a specialist for a new operation — a radiofrequency nerve ablation — and that if it didn't work, he wouldn't play at Wimbledon.

However, following a week of grass-court preparation, Nadal announced his desire to compete in the Grand Slam at a press conference in Mallorca.

"[The medical treatment] done in Barcelona is not a 100% immediate thing, but changes are noticeable," Nadal said. "I have noticed them, strange sensations, my joint pain has decreased.

"My intention is to play Wimbledon, to travel to London on Monday."

Nadal last played at Wimbledon in 2019, where he lost in the semifinals to Roger Federer. He is a two-time singles champion at the All England Club, winning in 2008 and 2010.

The 2022 Australian and French Open champion still has concerns over his foot injury and added that although he intends to enter the competition, "it is too early to give a definitive answer."

"My foot situation must be evaluated day after day, so at this moment I don't have this certainty of being able to play. I just know that I want to play the tournament, but we must also be careful.

"In the first days I had complicated feelings, day after day I got better. One more week of training in London and I hope to be able to play at Wimbledon and to be competitive to do so."

The semi-automated technology includes a sensor in the ball that sends its location on the field 500 times per second, as well as 12 tracking cameras positioned beneath stadium roofs that utilise machine learning to track 29 spots on players' bodies. When players commit offside offences (that is, when they are closer to the other team's goal than their second-last opponent and receive the ball), software will combine this data to provide automated notifications. Alerts will be relayed to officials in a nearby control room, who will authenticate the decision and inform the referees on the field of the call This technique, according to FIFA, will take "a few seconds and implies that offside rulings can b

Surabhi Bharadwaj is aiming to win an Olympic medal . “Well, the World Cup being my first international competition, I was excited and a little timid competing with the world’s top players.

Surabhi said she didn’t have high expectations of herself from the World Cup. “Before leaving for Suhl, Germany, there was not much expectation as it was my first international exposure. Of course, with this medal I could make my place on par with other top shooters at international level. Now, the target shifts to the World Cups with the ultimate
