The 38-year-old's last professional event will be the Davis Cup Final, which will be started from Malaga from November 19-24, as per ATP.
In a video posted on his official X handle, Nadal said as quoted by ATP's official website, "Hello everyone, I am here to let you know I am retiring from professional tennis.
The reality is it has been some difficult years, these last two especially. I do not think I have been able to play without limitations." "It is obviously a difficult decision, one that has taken me some time to make, but in this life, everything has a beginning and an end, and I think it is the appropriate time to put an end to a career that has been long and much more successful than I could have ever imagined," he added.
