Rafael Nadal has confirmed he intends to play at Wimbledon. The 36-year-old has suffered from chronic foot issues in recent years – and the injury flared up again as he won a 14th French Open title.

Toni Nadal said on Saturday nephew Rafael looks on track to play Wimbledon as treatment continues on the world number four's foot problem.
