Rafael Nadal said an emotional goodbye to professional tennis on Tuesday during his final match at the Davis
Cup in Malaga. The 38-year-old Spaniard, who had announced his retirement plans in October, marked the end of his career with his second-ever singles loss at the tournament.
Struggling to hold back tears, Nadal addressed the crowd, sharing his ongoing passion for the sport that he had devoted himself to since turning professional in 2001. Despite his enduring love for tennis, Nadal acknowledged that his body could no longer handle the physical demands of the game, leading to the conclusion of his legendary career.
