Rafael Nadal 's professional tennis career is in the hands of others after losing his singles match in the Davis Cup quarterfinal for Spain .
The 38-year-old Mallorcan, who last month announced he was ending his career after the Davis Cup, said he felt prepared and played the best he could but was not going to apologise for the loss in what could have been his final professional game."He made a decision today, hopefully we have the chance to go through and, probably after watching how today went, the decision to pick me didn't work and the easy move and maybe the right move is to make a change.
"I'm not going to say I'm sorry because this is a sport and sometimes it is what it is. I have tried my best and left all I could on the court like I have always done in my career," Nadal added.
