Rafael Nadal has already arrived in Malaga, where the Davis Cup Finals will be played starting November 19. There is great anticipation for this event, in which the Spanish legend will say goodbye to professional tennis and put an end to a career that is simply unparalleled.
The former world No. 1 doesn’t want to limit himself to having the role of an extra in his last official event and has practiced hard in recent weeks to be ready to play. Everyone knows the limits of Rafa’s body right now, but the 22-time Grand Slam champion has already shocked the world so many times and you should never underestimate him.
The 38-year-old from Manacor has not played an official match since the second round of the Olympic tournament against Novak Djokovic, when he realized that he could no longer aspire to win the most important titles. The 14-time French Open champion also participated in the ‘Six Kings Slam’ in Saudi Arabia last month, where he was celebrated by everyone and received a golden racket as a gift from the organizers. During this season, Nadal has thought a lot about his future and was almost convinced to play for another year before changing his mind. His current level is not good enough to compete against top players.
There will an amazing atmosphere in Malaga next week…
