Rafael Nadal, one of the greatest tennis players of all time, has announced he will retire from professional tennis at the end of the season after next month's Davis Cup Finals.
Nadal has won 22 grand slam titles, placing him second on the men's all-time list behind Novak Djokovic with 24.
Nadal's career was also defined by injury. His physical play often led to significant time off the court, which punctuated his incredible achievements.
Nadal's rivalry with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic has reignited global interest in tennis and is considered the most prolific men's match-up in the Open era.
