Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal is hopeful of featuring at this year's French Open and the Olympics, the former world number one said on Wednesday.
The 37-year-old has bagged 22 Grand Slam singles titles, including a record 14 French Open crowns.
"I don't know which events I have left to play but between you and me, it's not going to be many," Nadal said in an interview with Spanish broadcaster La Sexta.
"(Roland Garros) will be one of my goals", he added when asked whether he would play in his favourite Grand Slam tournament in May.
"I'd like to play at the Olympics as well. It's not something I can confirm right now, but I hope I will... I think I will."
Nadal, who spent 2023 on the sidelines due to injury, withdrew from next week's Qatar Open on Wednesday, postponing his comeback to competitive tennis as he has not recovered from a torn muscle he sustained in Brisbane last month.
Nadal also shed light on his ties with Saudi Arabia after being appointed ambassador of the Kingdom's Tennis Federation last month.
"They pay me, yes, do I need the money? Not at all, it will not change my life. I have not signed a super contract, like other fellow athletes who are there and I totally respect them," he said.
Nadal penned an agreement with the Middle East country for a long-term deal to help grow the sport. He also plans on creating a Rafael Nadal Academy in the country.
"My commitment is to promote tennis and try to achieve my goals. I don't think Arabia needs me to wash its image. It is not my objective. People tend to give their opinions without asking questions," Nadal said.
"It goes without saying that when I accepted, I knew what would happen. I think my team made a mistake in communication and that I should have come out to explain it," he added.
