Paris - Roger Federer announced Monday he will compete at next year's Tokyo Olympics in a bid to claim the men's singles gold medal, the only major prize he has yet to win.
"At the end of the day my heart decided to play the Olympic Games again."
Federer did not compete at Rio 2016, where Murray won again, but has since twice won the Australian Open and took the 2017 Wimbledon title before losing an epic final in the grass-court Grand Slam to Novak Djokovic earlier this year.
The 32-year-old Djokovic is world number one and the player poised to take top spot off him in the coming weeks is Nadal, 33.
