Rafael Nadal on course for Rio Olympics

Rafael Nadal is making good progress from his wrist injury ahead of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, his coach, Toni Nadal, says.

Nadal's uncle revealed the 14-time Grand Slam champion and 2008 gold medallist had come through an intense training session with Andy Murray as he looks to make his return in Brazil.
