MADRID — Rafael Nadal announced Thursday he will retire from tennis at age 38 following next month's Davis Cup finals.
“Really, everything I have experienced has been a dream come true," Nadal said in an announcement on social media."I leave with the absolute peace of mind of having given my best, of having made an effort in every way”“The reality is that it has been some difficult years, these last two especially. I don’t think I have been able to play without limitations. It is obviously a difficult decision, one that has taken me some time to make.
That’s more than anyone, man or woman, won at any one of the sport’s four major tournaments, a dominance celebrated by a statue of Nadal that stands near the main entrance to the grounds of Roland Garros and in the shadow of its main stadium, Court Philippe Chatrier. “I am very excited that my last tournament will be the final of the Davis Cup and representing my country," he said."I think I’ve come full circle since one of my first great joys as a professional tennis player was the Davis Cup final in Seville in 2004.”
