Rafael Nadal planning to play Wimbledon as he looks to extend his Grand Slam streak

Rafael Nadal has signalled his intentions to play at Wimbledon this summer as he aims for a third consecutive Grand Slam win.

Despite being plagued by a foot injury which ended his 2021 campaign prematurely, Nadal, 36, captured his 22nd Slam title at the French Open this month. That followed him winning the Australian Open in February, fighting back from two sets down in the final to overcome Daniil Medvedev.

His triumph at Roland Garros came amid a series of painkilling injections, with the 'King of Clay' joking to reporters he would rather 'a new foot' than a 14th French Open title. Still, he came through an epic quarter-final with Novak Djokovic before an injury  to Alexander Zverev curtailed the pair's final four clash.
