The 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal is set to conclude his career in the upcoming Davis Cup tie between Spain and the Netherlands. The Spaniard announced his decision to retire in October, citing the ongoing difficulty of recovering from injuries.

In the tie against the Netherlands, Tallon Griekspoor is expected to play a significant role for his team. Griekspoor anticipates an emotional occasion with a vibrant atmosphere as fans celebrate Nadal’s final moments as a professional tennis player.

Nadal’s participation in the Davis Cup has not been fully confirmed. However, the left-hander is expected to feature in doubles for Spain, most likely partnering with Carlos Alcaraz. The pair gained attention earlier for playing together at the Paris Olympics.

Another Dutch player, Botic van de Zandschulp, is also set to embrace this historic occasion. The 29-year-old has found success against Spanish players, including a notable victory over Alcaraz at this year’s US Open.

Rafael Nadal, known as the “King of Clay,” is one of the greatest tennis players in history. He holds many records that may never be broken. The 22-time Grand Slam champion will retire after the 2024 Davis Cup Finals in Malaga. His career is marked by incredible consistency, dominance, and achievements.

One of Nadal’s most remarkable records is spending 912 consecutive weeks in the ATP top 10. This streak began on April 25, 2005, and lasted nearly 18 years before ending in March 2023. It highlights his longevity and sustained excellence in the sport.

Nadal’s dominance on clay is unmatched. He has won 14 French Open titles, holding a 112-3 win-loss record at Roland Garros. He also won 81 consecutive matches on clay between 2005 and 2007, the longest streak on a single surface in men’s tennis. This incredible run included 13 titles before Roger Federer ended it in Hamburg.

The Spaniard also holds records for 63 clay-court titles and winning at least one Grand Slam in 10 consecutive seasons from 2005 to 2014. During this time, he claimed 14 Grand Slam titles, including nine French Opens, two Wimbledon titles, two US Opens, and one Australian Open. His dominance on clay and across all surfaces defines his legendary career.
