Rafael Nadal is spending most of his time with his family after ending his professional career in November 2024, after playing his last official event at the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga. In some recent interviews, the Spanish legend confessed that he doesn't miss tennis for now and that he still hasn't picked up a racket after retiring.
The former world number 1 was aware that he could no longer compete at the highest level for several reasons and the 2024 season gave him all the answers he needed to decide his future. It's no secret that the 22-time Grand Slam champion has been thinking about continuing to play in 2025, but his results at Roland Garros and the Paris Olympics have allowed him to clear his mind.
His last official tournament the Davis Cup Finals was much lower than expected although he had the chance to play in front of his fans in Malaga.
