The Facts

  • Nadal's illustrious 23-year career includes 22 Grand Slam singles titles, with a record 14 French Open victories and an Olympic gold medal.

  • The decision comes after two particularly difficult years marked by injuries, causing Nadal to miss the 2023 French Open and lose in the first round of this year's tournament.


The Spin

The timing of Nadal's retirement is appropriate. Recent injuries have significantly impacted his performance, and it's better to bow out now than risk tarnishing his legacy. This decision allows him to end his career on his own terms, representing his country in the Davis Cup.
