Rafael Nadal played the final match of his career at the Davis Cup quarterfinals in Málaga, Spain, losing 6-4, 6-4 to Botic van de Zandschulp of the Netherlands. Despite moments of brilliance, the 38-year-old 22-time Grand Slam champion couldn’t regain his peak form. Injuries limited Nadal to just 24 matches since 2023.
Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz briefly leveled the tie but lost in the doubles with Marcel Granollers, giving the Netherlands a 2-1 victory. Nadal, emotional throughout, was honored by fans with a standing ovation, closing a remarkable two-decade career. Reflecting on the loss, he said, “We close the circle,” referencing his first and last Davis Cup defeats.
