Rafael Nadal Says He Intends to Play at Wimbledon

Rafael Nadal is going to try for the calendar grand slam despite dealing with a left foot injury.

The 22-time grand slam winner won this year’s Australian Open and French Open already, meaning he would need just a Wimbledon and U.S. Open title to complete the historic run.

Only five tennis players in history have completed the calendar grand slam: Don Budge (1938), Connolly Brinker (1953), Rod Laver (1962 and 1969), Margaret Court (1970) and Steffi Graf (1988).

There was a chance Nadal could miss Wimbledon after he detailed pain in his foot after finishing the French Open on June 5.
