This was confirmed by the player in a video published on social media, in which he confirms that he is saying goodbye to professional tennis at 38 years of age and that the Carpena will be his last performance.

"It's been two difficult years, I haven't been able to play without limitations. It's taken me a while to make this decision, but in this life everything has a beginning and an end and I think it's the right time to put an end to a long and successful career, but I'm really looking forward to playing in the Davis Cup final and representing my country. It's closing the circle. One of my first joys as a professional tennis player was in Seville in 2004 and now I'll finish like this, I feel super lucky for all the things I've been able to experience," said Nadal, who thanked his family, team and the entire tennis world, including fans, for their support during these two long decades in which he reached the top of world sport.
