Rafael Nadal confirms retirement from tennis aged 38 | BBC News

Rafael Nadal, the 22-time Grand Slam champion, will retire from tennis at the end of this season.

The 38-year-old will represent Spain in his final appearance at next month's Davis Cup Finals in Malaga.

Nadal has barely played over the past two seasons because of injuries and suggested last year he could retire at the end of the 2024 season.

Nadal retires as the second-most successful men's singles player of all time, behind only long-time rival Novak Djokovic.
