Russian tennis player Karen Khachanov said that he has always respected Rafael Nadal’s behavior, both on and off the court, emphasizing that with the Spaniard’s departure from tennis, a certain era ends.
On Thursday, Nadal, 38, announced his retirement. Nadal’s last tournament will be the Davis Cup Final Eight, which will take place in Malaga from November 19 to 24.
— One of the best fighters and competitors in our sport. I have always admired your courage, your fighting spirit, the fact that you never gave up, that you showed respect for your opponent and love for the game! Thank you for everything you have done! We will miss you… It’s the end of an era. “I take my hat off to Rafa,” Khachanov wrote on a social network, publishing a joint photo with Nadal.
Nadal is a 22-time Grand Slam winner and two-time Olympic champion. He is one of only four tennis players in history to have won every Grand Slam tournament at least twice.
