Rafa Nadal’s last executioner in Madrid will not be able to go to the Palaro

In the absence of knowing whether in the end Novak Djokovic can go to Paris (he injured his right knee at Roland Garros, but is expected to play more Wimbledon starting next week) The men’s tennis tournament of the Olympic Games will have a major failure, that of Jiri Lehecka.

And as in Djokovic’s case, it will be an involuntary departure.

Czech tennis player, Rafael Nadal’s last execution at the M1000 in Madrid (he beat him 7-5 and 6-4 in the round of 16)he was injured in the quarterfinals (when he won the first set against Daniil Medvedev 6-4) of the same tournament in Madrid and, since then, he has not played again.

Yesterday was the last call-up day for the Games and Lehecka has yet to recover in time and he would not be able to join his countrymen for several weeks, although he had given everything to try to be.

Lehecka himself confirmed this through a message on their social networks:

“Today (yesterday) is the deadline to be among those called up for the Games and, unfortunately, I will not be able to join them. I am sad because I will not be able to participate in the Games next month. .

Since I was a little boy watching the Games from home, having fun with my grandfather, I never thought I would qualify for the biggest sporting event in the world. It has always been my dream to represent my country and, obviously, this is one of the big goals of this season.

I HAVE DONE everything to get a chance to play, but my body is not ready to compete at the highest level.

I wish the best of luck to all Czech athletes who will participate and cheer them on from home. I’m sure they will make us proud.

I hope to see you soon on the tennis court.”
