 Nadal Reflects on His Legacy as He Retires from Tennis


Rafael Nadal expressed that he has left both a sporting and personal legacy after announcing his retirement from professional tennis on Tuesday at the Davis Cup. The 38-year-old was defeated in the opening singles match of the quarter-finals, as the Netherlands triumphed 2-1 over Spain, eliminating them from the tournament.


With 22 Grand Slam titles to his name, Nadal bid farewell to his remarkable 23-year career in front of fans in Malaga, sharing an emotional speech during a tribute ceremony. 


“I leave with the peace of mind that I have left a legacy, which I believe is not only a sporting one but a personal one,” Nadal said. “The love I’ve received is not solely because of what I achieved on the court.”


Nadal expressed gratitude to those who supported him along the way, particularly his uncle Toni Nadal, who coached him throughout much of his career. "The titles and numbers are there, but I want to be remembered as a good person, someone from a small village in Mallorca who followed his dreams and achieved more than he ever imagined,” Nadal added.


A video montage celebrating his career played at the Martin Carpena arena, where over 10,000 fans gathered to witness his retirement. Messages from former rivals like Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Serena Williams, and other tennis legends, along with tributes from Spanish football stars Raul and Andres Iniesta, were included.


Reflecting on his journey, Nadal shared, “I leave tennis having encountered many good friends along the way.” He expressed his desire to continue being a "good ambassador" for the sport in retirement and conveyed his peace with the next chapter of his life. "I have a great family around me who helps me every day," he concluded.
