“I don’t know if I will play a match or not.”

Rafa Nadal announced his desire to retire last October during the Davis Cup Final 8. An opportunity for him to add a new trophy to his already well-stocked collection. Which would put an end to his career in a very nice way.

However, will we see the Mallorcan again on a tennis court for an official match? The Spaniard is doubtful about his participation on the court during this meeting against the Netherlands.

“There is no ideal ending. » Ideal endings usually occur in American films. […] What I want is for the team to be competitive and to be able to win the Davis Cup. My best goodbye would be the joy of winning with everyone. But I don’t know if I will play a match or not. I have played very little lately,” warned the 38-year-old former world number 1, on the eve of the opening match scheduled for Tuesday at 5 p.m.

Furthermore, the captain of the Spanish Davis Cup team, David Ferrer, added that he was “not yet” sure whether Nadal would play on Tuesday.

Whether or not the Spanish tennis legend appears on the court, what is certain is that a tribute worthy of the name will be paid to him this week, which should attract a lot of people to the stands.
