Spanish tennis superstar Rafael Nadal has said that the constant rejection of the country's bids to stage the Olympics is becoming tiring.
According to metro.co.uk, the tennis world No.2 spoke out after Madrid finished third in International Olympic Committee voting for the 2020 Games in Buenos Aires yesterday.
Istanbul and Tokyo went through to the second round of ballots, where the Japanese city triumphed to win the right to host the Olympics for a second time, the report said.
Madrid has never hosted the Games but Barcelona did so in 1992 and it was the third successive summer Olympics the city has lost out on, the report added.
Nadal said that the city of Madrid had worked a lot to have the chance, for so many times already, adding that it deserved a chance.
The tennis player won an Olympic gold medal in Beijing in 2008 but did not compete in London last summer, the report further said.
