Nadal to Retire After Davis Cup in November

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic will face off for the last time in their historic rivalry in a third-place match at the Six Kings Slam in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This emotional encounter is part of Nadal's farewell tour, as he plans to retire after the Davis Cup in November due to ongoing injury struggles. Despite no titles or ranking points at stake, the match is highly anticipated, with both players having shaped tennis history through their fierce competition. Young talents Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner defeated Nadal and Djokovic in the semifinals, marking a generational shift in the sport. Nadal, a 22-time Grand Slam winner, may participate in the Davis Cup singles if he feels capable of winning, and might partner with Alcaraz in doubles. The match against Djokovic is a tribute to their legacy, symbolizing the end of an era as a new generation rises.
