Since Rafael Nadal ended his career at the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga, several celebrities from around the world have poured in their tributes. Recently, his agent Carlos Costa also gave his heartfelt tribute to the former World No.1 after working with him for over two decades.

Nadal was part of Spain’s team that faced the Netherlands on Tuesday (November 19) in the quarterfinals of the Davis Cup at the Martin Carpena Arena in Malaga. The 38-year-old opened the tie with a straight-set loss against Dutch Botic van de Zandschulp. His teammate Carlos Alcaraz fought hard to level the tie 1-1.

But the decisive doubles match went in favor of the Netherlands, who edged 2-1 to clinch the semifinal spot. After that, Nadal was given a befitting farewell ceremony by the Davis Cup organizers.

Later, Costa took to social media to share a photograph of his ID cards from all the tournaments he attended with Nadal over the past two decades. He captioned the post with a heartwarming tribute.

Costa became Nadal’s agent when he was the IMG Spain Vice President Tennis Division. After working ten years with IMG, he founded his own company, HIS7ORY Sports Management, and has worked for Nadal independently since then.
