In emotional scenes in Spain, Rafael Nadal, in his final professional tennis event, lost to Botic van de Zandschulp of the Netherlands in the Davis Cup Final 8 in Málaga.

Nadal won 22 Grand Slam titles in his career and retires as one of the greatest men's tennis players of all time.

As Rafael Nadal prepared to serve in what turned out to be the last tennis match of his career, a woman’s voice broke the silence from the stands: “You make Spain proud!” Not long after that, Nadal was wiping away tears from his face and waving goodbye to his fans.
