Rafael Nadal is retiring from professional tennis at age 38, he announced in a video message, after winning 22 Grand Slam titles - 14 at the French Open - during an unprecedented era he shared with rivals Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.
In addition to his French Open triumphs, Nadal won four trophies at the U.S. Open and two apiece at Wimbledon and the Australian Open, giving him a career Grand Slam.
Nadal has competed infrequently the past two seasons because of injuries and said next month’s Davis Cup finals will mark his farewell to the sport. He had hip surgery in 2023 and entered just two of the past eight major tournaments.
