I always hoped this day would never come,” said 20-time Grand Slam champion Federer. Rafael Nadal announced he will retire from professional tennis after the Davis Cup finals in November, ending a career in which he won 22 Grand Slam titles and Olympic singles gold. He made his comeback at Barcelona in April and reached his first final in two years on the clay of Bastad in July.
“But I am very excited that my last tournament will be the final of the Davis Cup and representing my country. I think I’ve come full circle.”Nadal dominated the French Open where he won 14 of his majors, his first arriving just days after his 19th birthday in 2005, his last in 2022 briefly making him the event’s oldest champion before Djokovic broke the record.
His five-set victory over Federer in the 2008 championship match, which ended in almost complete darkness at the All England Club, is widely regarded as the greatest Slam final ever played.
