November, even though there have been rumors that the Davis Cup Finals will be his final match.
The 38-year-old Rafael Nadal is now nearing the conclusion of his amazing career and has made several mentions of his intention to hang up his racket this year.
When Rafael Nadal decides to hang up his tennis career, the only Big Four star left standing is Novak Djokovic. Roger Federer and Andy Murray have already retired.
According to the most recent rumors, Rafael Nadal will compete in his final professional match in Malaga in just two months, but Alcaraz is pleading with his fellow Spaniard to go on.
When asked about Rafael Nadal’s potential retirement at the Davis Cup, Wimbledon winner Alcaraz responded, “Hopefully, it’s not going to be the last time for him.”
Rafa’s presence is always very appreciated. I long for him. To be honest, I did not see him during the Laver Cup.
Naturally, I consider the time I get to spend with him to be a privilege. I don’t want to believe that this could be his farewell dance in Malaga.
All I want to think about is that I’ll be doing my best to live it up and take advantage of the opportunity to see him play basketball as much as I can.
Having him on the team is undoubtedly a huge help. He has a wealth of experience that he can provide the Davis Cup.
It will be my first time attending a Davis Cup Final. I’m going to have an amazing time with it.
“I think it will be great for Team Spain and the country that we are playing in Spain to have the opportunity to spend more time with him on the court and off the court.”
This summer in Paris, Alcaraz and Nadal competed together in the Olympics, but they were unable to win a doubles medal for their nation.
The Americans Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram defeated the Spaniards in the quarterfinals.
