Tennis star Rafael Nadal ends his career.
– The reality is that it has been a difficult few years, especially the last two, Nadal says in a recorded statement on X.
Nadal is one of the world’s best players of all time, with, among other things, 22 Grand Slam titles to his credit, 14 of which he won at the French Open in Paris.
The 38-year-old has had major problems with injuries for several years.
– I don’t think I have had the opportunity to play without limitations, says Nadal about the last time in his career.
– I think this is the right time to put an end to a career that has been long and much more successful than I could have dreamed of, says Nadal.
In the statement at X, Nadal thanked him in twelve different languages, including Swedish. “Thank you everyone,” wrote the now-retired star.
