Unexpected and tremendously impactful news has come today from Bernabé Zapata. A true stone breaker of tennis, the Valencian player who reached the top 50 and experienced the tournament of his life at Roland Garros 2022 (reaching the round of 16, where he lost to Zverev), announced today, through social media, his retirement from professional tennis at the age of 28. Bernabé cites a lack of hunger and motivation as reasons for his decision, stating he is no longer willing to make "the same sacrifice" required to be an elite player. His final match will take place at the Valencia Challenger in May; until then, a heartfelt announcement marking the end of one of the most recognizable faces of Spanish tennis in the last decade. All the best in your new chapter, Berni.

Bernabé Zapata RETIRES 😢
