The world number one says he wants to add an Olympic gold medal to his 20 Grand Slam titles.
After winning a bronze medal in Beijing in 2008, he lost in the semi-finals of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics to Alexander Zverev, before missing out on a bronze medal to Pablo Carreno Busta.
An Olympic medal, especially gold, is always a big wish, according to the Serbian tennis player.
He said that he rewound his match with Zverev in Tokyo many times, trying to figure out what went wrong.
At the Australian Open, where Nadal won his 21st major, he was unable to compete because he was not up to date with his Covid-19 vaccine.
An Italian government minister has confirmed that he can compete in the Italian Open in 2022.
Italy's cabinet undersecretary for sport said that Novak can come and play in Rome.
The tighter green pass is not required for tennis. If he wants to play, he can play, even if he is not allowed in a hotel or restaurant.
