Rafael Nadal, who announced his retirement at age 38 on Thursday, was celebrated not just as the “king of clay” but also for his dominance across all tennis surfaces, having earned 22 Grand Slam titles.

Nadal’s consistent and humble nature, both on and off the court, won the hearts of fans worldwide. Known for his resilience in clinching marathon wins, Nadal always displayed enjoyment in the game and exhibited humility in victory and grace in defeat. As Nadal prepares to conclude his illustrious career, football legend Cristiano Ronaldo shared a heartfelt message on his retirement.

“Rafa, what an incredible career you have had! Your dedication, passion, and incredible talent have inspired millions around the world. It has been an honour to witness your journey and to call you a friend. Congratulations on an amazing career! Enjoy your retirement!” Ronaldo expressed.

In a poignant retirement announcement, Ronaldo emphasized the personal legacy he hopes to leave: “The important legacy is that all the people I have met during these 20 years have a good human memory of me. Ultimately, personal matters like education, respect, and how you treat people are paramount because that is what endures.”

Born in Mallorca in June 1986, Nadal was raised in a family devoted to his success; his father, Sebastian, was a businessman, and his mother, Ana, dedicated herself to raising her children. Nadal turned professional at 14 and debuted at Wimbledon at 17. By 18, he contributed to Spain’s Davis Cup victory, winning a crucial singles match in the final.

Nadal claimed his first major title at the French Open two days after his 19th birthday, and he captured his 14th Roland Garros title 17 years later. Known in his youth for his distinctive tank tops and bandanas, Nadal amassed titles during an era dominated by tennis’s “big three,” including Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. His gritty baseline style contrasted Federer’s elegance and Djokovic’s all-around game.

In their 14 Grand Slam finals, Federer secured only four wins against Nadal. Federer retired with 20 major titles, two fewer than Nadal.
