The most painful 'Hello everyone' arrives for the fans. After a few recent seasons filled with uncertainty and injuries, Rafael Nadal Parera announces today that he will retire officially after representing Spain next November in the final phase of the 2024 Davis Cup, to be held in Malaga. In a video format, the Spanish tennis player explains at length the decision to end his career at the age of 38.

"I am here to inform you that I am retiring from professional tennis," begins the Balearic player, with noticeable sadness in his voice. "The truth is that these have been difficult years, especially the last two. I have not been able to play without limitations. It is a tough decision, one that has taken me time to make, but in this life, everything has a beginning and an end. I believe it is the right time to put an end to a career that has been long and much more successful than I could have ever imagined."

Rafa Nadal and his definitive farewell to tennis

"I am very excited that my final tournament will be the Davis Cup final representing my country. It's closing the circle since one of my first professional triumphs was the final in Seville in 2004. I feel super fortunate for all the things I have experienced. I want to thank the entire tennis industry, my fellow players, my great rivals. I have spent many hours with them and lived many moments that I will remember for the rest of my life."
