Rafael Nadal will serve for the last competition of his career, this Tuesday in Malaga, where Spain begins the final phase of the Davis Cup against the Netherlands. A der’ scrutinized in the four corners of the world, to be followed from the end of the afternoon this Tuesday.
A huge page in tennis must turn this week: the Spanish king Rafael Nadal will bow out, at the end of a professional career lasting 23 years and marked by 22 Grand Slam titles, including a record 14 at Roland- Garros.
His last dance is planned on the courts of Malaga, as part of the Davis Cup quarter-finals between Spain and the Netherlands. All matches (two singles and one doubles) are to follow on beIN Sports 1.

In singles, doubles… or in the stands?
A confrontation that must begin from 5 p.m. this Tuesday. We will know an hour before whether “Rafa”, 38 years old, is lined up for the first singles or not. He who has already announced that he is ready to skip singles matches to concentrate on doubles – and even not to play at all for the good of the team, if that is the wish of his captain.
In case of victory, the Spaniards will play the semi-final, Friday at 5 p.m., against Germany or Canada. Unless Rafael Nadal has already been pushed into forced retirement, twenty years after winning his first Davis Cup with his country.
