Rafael Nadal Will Retire From Tennis After the Davis Cup
Tennis star Rafael Nadal has announced his withdrawal from tennis. The 22-time champion will retire after next month's Davis Cup in Spain.
This past Summer, Nadal was chosen for the Spanish tennis team for the Paris Olympics, where he partnered with fellow Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz in doubles. During “The Netflix Slam,” when he went head-to-head with Alcaraz, Nadal admitted, “What put me in a position to be close to retirement is my body more than anything else because in my mind is healthy in terms of passion for what I’m doing.” It was the most won on a single surface in the open era and earned him the nickname “King of Clay.” Nadal’s last win there was in 2022, when he beat Casper Ruud.
