Rafael Nadal announced Thursday that 2024 would likely be his final year in professional tennis.
The news of his imminent retirement came at the same press conference where the tennis legend announced he had withdrawn from this year’s French Open due to an ongoing hip injury. He has no date for his return to court.
“I hope to give myself the opportunity to enjoy next year, that’s probably going to be my last year in the professional tour,“ Nadal said. “That’s my idea, even [though] I can’t say that 100%.”
