Rafael Nadal officially retires from pro tennis


Rafael Nadal is such a class act and it seems that he is officially retiring at the right time after getting as much as he could out of his body. He can truly say he did it all: 22 grand slam singles titles, Olympic gold medals in singles and doubles, world number one. The most astounding stat is 14 French Open crowns, four US Open titles, two Wimbledon titles and two Australian Opens. The only title to have alluded him was the ATP year-end championship which is played indoors – his worst surface.

Rafa has been a great sportsman, a class act, and his rivalries with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic delighted fans for nearly two decades.

Below are tributes from fellow players:
