Tennis: World No 1 Jannik Sinner is through to his ninth ATP Tour final this year as he makes it to back-to-back finals.
Rafael Nadal has broken down in tears before and after his final ever singles match as the Spaniard legend walked into retirement.
It was a cruel way for the 38-year-old to bow out with an unspectacular 6-4 6-4 loss in front of his home Malaga fans. “If I was the captain I would change me probably , but at the end of the day it’s not my decision,” Nadal told reporters.“I lost my first match at the Davis Cup, and I lost my last one, so we close the circle.” Nadal’s involvement in the tie was not certain, with his career ravaged by injuries in recent years, but captain David Ferrer called on the 38-year-old to open the finals for Spain before an adoring home crowd.
