Tennis great Rafael Nadal has announced he is retiring from the sport at the end of the season.
Nadal, 38, has enjoyed an astonishing career, which saw him win 22 Grand Slams, including 14 French Open titles. But he has been hampered by injuries in recent years, and he announced on Thursday that this will be his final year playing the sport.
Nadal will play for Spain against the Netherlands in the Davis Cup in Malaga from Nov. 19-21. That will be his final act on the tennis court, in a sport where he stood alongside Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray as four modern greats in the men's game.
