Rafael Nadal has confirmed that he will represent Spain at the Olympic Games in Rio, despite injury concerns.
The 14-time Grand Slam winner has committed himself to playing singles, doubles and mixed doubles at the Games, despite worries over whether or not his left wrist injury will survive the gruelling challenges ahead.
Nadal, who beat Chilean Fernando Gonzalez to win men's singles gold at the Beijing Games in 2008, withdrew from the French Open and also missed Wimbledon because of the injury.
However, the 30-year-old, who missed the 2012 London Games because of a knee injury, says he will look to compete in every category in Brazil.
"After discussing it with my team, I have decided I will play everything that I can," he said after an intense training session with compatriot David Ferrer.
"We are here and practice has gone well - more or less. It's not an ideal situation, there are always risks, but the MRI scan was OK."
The world No 5 spent a lengthy period after his practice session on centre court discussing his plans with the team doctor and team captain Conchita Martinez.
He is scheduled to play doubles with Marc Lopez and mixed doubles with French Open champion Garbine Muguruza.
Nadal has not played since he was forced to quit the French Open before the third round after damaging tendons in his left wrist.
He is due to carry his country's flag at Friday's opening ceremony in Rio.
