Rafael Nadal has teased of future dealing with away from the court with the retiring Roger Federer.
On Thursday, the Swiss maestro left fans stunned when he announced he would be walking away from the sport after this month's Laver Cup. That's despite vowing to play Wimbledon at least one more time when he attended the Championships as a guest this summer.
But having been side-lined for more than a year following a third bout of knee surgery, the 41-year-old admitted his body could no longer withstand the rigours of professional tennis. Despite admitting he'd been working towards a return, he conceded: "I also know my body’s capacities and limits, and its message to me lately has been clear."
