Tennis great Rafael Nadal has announced he will retire from the sport at the end of the 2024 season.
The 22-time Grand Slam winner will represent Spain in his career finale at next month's Davis Cup Finals in Malaga, but will also compete in the Six Kings Slam Tournament - which you can watch live and for free on DAZN - in one of his final tournaments before calling it a day.
The 38-year-old said in a video message on Thursday: "I am here to let you know I am retiring from professional tennis.
"The reality is that it has been some difficult years, the last two especially.
"I don't think I have been able to play without limitations."
Nadal is the second most successful tennis player of all time (behind Novak Djokovic), winning 22 Grand Slams, including a record 14 titles at the French Open.
