Rafael Nadal, 22-time Grand Slam champion, is retiring from tennis after next month's Davis Cup finals

Nadal's retirement is a huge loss for tennis. His incredible achievements, including 22 Grand Slam titles and Olympic gold, have solidified his status as one of the greatest players ever. The sport will miss his fierce competitiveness and unparalleled dominance on clay courts.
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.
