Tennis legend Rafael Nadal has announced his retirement.
The 22-time grand slam champion will finish his extraordinary career at the Davis Cup in Malaga, Spain in late November.
Nadal, 38, has been battling injuries for the past few years on tour, appearing at just two grand slams since the start of 2023 – the Australian Open of that year, and this year’s French Open, where he lost to Alex Zverev in the opening round.

His final grand slam title was the 2022 French Open, where he extended his record with a 14th Roland Garros crown.
“I am here to let you know I am retiring from professional tennis,” Nadal said in a video message released on social media.
“The reality is that it has been some difficult years, the last two especially.
“I don’t think I have been able to play without limitations.”
