Yesterday it was announced that I will play in Summer Olympics in Paris, my last Olympic Games. To this end, we believe that the best thing for my body is not to change surfaces and continue playing on clay until then. This is why I will miss playing the Wimbledon tournament this year. I’m sad that I won’t be able to experience this year the great atmosphere of that incredible tournament that will always be in my heart and be with all the British fans who have always given me so much support. I will miss you all,” said the Balearic tennis player on social networks.
