Spanish world number three Carlos Alcaraz admitted that he would like to be able to convince his compatriot Raphaël Nadal don’t end your career.
Nadal announced his retirement in October. The 38-year-old Spaniard’s final tournament will be the Davis Cup Final Eight, which will be held in Malaga from November 19-24.
—Did I try to convince him to continue playing? No, but I would like to. But I know the decision has been made.
I asked him if the day he announced his retirement was difficult, if it was a difficult decision to make. He answered in the affirmative.
This is a point to consider because it is not a decision taken lightly. He spoke with his family, with his team and felt that the time had come.
If someone told me that I had a chance to convince him to continue, I would do it and try, because I don’t want to see him leave tennis yet,” Marca quoted Alcaraz as saying.
Nadal is a 22-time Grand Slam winner and two-time Olympic champion.
