Since Rafa Nadal announced that his farewell would be at the Copa Davis in Malaga, this coming November, ticket prices on the resale market have reached completely prohibitive levels. In fact, on several resale websites (of dubious credibility), they are asking for over €30,000 for a ticket, which is completely out of the market. Spain will definitely play on Tuesday, November 19, with its participation open for the semifinals on Friday, the 22nd, and the final on Sunday, the 24th. Some people are trying to take advantage of this by inflating the prices significantly. According to the official tournament sources, ALL tickets for these days are sold out, so some people choose to look elsewhere, hence why there are websites offering them at these prices.

Important: From Punto de Break, we warn you to be very careful with websites like Viagogo and similar ones, as you risk being scammed by fraudulent listings.

Taylor Fritz is now a semifinalist in the ATP Shanghai Masters after defeating David Goffin. Another Masters 1000 semifinal for the American who is already waiting for Djokovic or Mensik. In a press conference, Fritz was, of course, asked about Rafa Nadal's retirement: "Many people were expecting his retirement to be announced. I was very surprised that it was during the Davis Cup; many were expecting it at Roland Garros, Madrid, or Barcelona. He has been trying to recover for a long time, and the fact that his retirement is happening during the Davis Cup just shows that he has been trying to play for a long time. I have been very lucky to have played against Rafa a couple of times, in his last full year playing with a relatively solid schedule. I grew up watching Rafa. He and Roger dominated the sport, and it has been an honor to play at the same time as someone I watched on TV when I was a little kid. So, it has been an honor to play with him; it's the end of an era."

Roger Federer is in Shanghai, where he will play an exhibition match today. Before that, the Swiss player spoke to the tournament about the so-called 'changing of the guard', as the recent news of Rafa Nadal's retirement is yet another sign that the new generations are making their way through and the great players of recent years are saying goodbye. "You can feel the changing of the guard. Serena Williams and Andy Murray retiring, Rafa getting closer each time. Novak, obviously, having a tough year overall but then winning the Olympics and claiming what he always wanted to achieve, that difficult-to-reach Olympic gold. That was incredible for him. So, yes, you feel that everything is changing and Sinner and Alcaraz each winning two Slams, that shows you that the wave is really coming now. Changes are happening and they are consistent, fantastic to see. Watching Alcaraz live at the Laver Cup in Berlin was impressive. He is a wonderful player, and I think many people are going to have a lot of fun watching him in the future."

Novak Djokovic once again reached the semifinals of the Shanghai ATP after defeating Jakub Mensik. And, of course, in his on-court interview, he couldn't avoid being asked about the retirement of Rafa Nadal that yesterday moved the world. "I already posted on Instagram. He has been my greatest rival, the rivalry I've had with him. He has impacted me the most in my career, by far. We knew that moment would come sooner rather than later, but it's still a shock when it officially arrives. Just like it was for Roger a few years ago when he announced his retirement, and for Andy this year as well. It's a bit overwhelming for me. I don't know what to do with it; I still enjoy competing, but a part of me left with them, a big part of me. So yes, it's tough news for the tennis and sports world. Rafa is an inspiration for millions of children worldwide, so he can be very proud of his career."
