Shortly after his semifinal triumph over Stanislas Wawrinka to advance to the US Open championships on Saturday (7th September), world number two Rafael Nadal said he was disappointed to hear that Madrid had been eliminated in the first round of voting for the 2020 Summer Olympic Games earlier in the day.
Rafael Nadal said: “Is hard. Is tiring for all of us, because all the country, all the city of Madrid worked a lot to have that chance, and for so many times already. So we feel that we deserve it, but is only two chances today in this case: Keep trying or say, Okay, we take a window, we take a rest for a while, and we will be there trying in a few years. But this one was hard for us. I was disappointed because we felt that we are in a good position. All the country was very involved on the Olympics movement. So when I heard that happened was surprise for me, especially being disqualified in the first round.”
