Rafael Nadal has announced his retirement from professional tennis, set to take place after the Davis Cup in Málaga next month.
In a video message, Nadal, 38, reflected on the challenges of recent years, citing physical limitations. He expressed it was a difficult decision but felt it was the right time to end his illustrious career.
