The record 14-time French Open winner and 22-time Grand Slam winner announced his retirement on his Instagram page on Thursday.

He said, “Hello everyone. I’m here to let you know that I am retiring from professional tennis.

“The reality is that it has been some difficult years, these last two years especially… it is obviously a difficult decision, one that has taken me some time to make. But, in life, everything has a beginning and an end.”

Nadal’s career has been hampered by injuries; he missed the 2023 French Open and was beaten in the first round by German Alexander Zverev this year.

He won his last Roland Garros title in 2022 and left the tournament on a jaw-dropping 112-4 win-loss record.

Nadal’s successes came during an extraordinary period when he, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and, for a while, Andy Murray, dominated the sport.
