Spain’s Rafael Nadal said on Thursday he was putting an end to his professional tennis career, a decision effective after the Davis Cup final in November. In his career won 22 Grand Slam titles and Olympic singles gold.
Announcing his retirement, Nadal took to X and wrote, “Many thanks to all” in 13 languages.
“It has been some difficult years, these last two especially,” the 38-year-old, who won a record 14 French Open titles, said in a video.
In the video, the Spaniard indicated his decision was related to persistent injury problems, following which he missed several tournaments in past couple of years.
