American tennis player Taylor Fritz has stated that he was taken aback by the renowned Rafael Nadal’s choice to continue playing after the French Open. With up to 22 Grand Slam victories under his belt, the 38-year-old is considered as one of the best male tennis players in Open period history in the singles division.
Due in significant part to the fact that he won 14 of his 22 major titles while competing in Roland Garros, Rafael Nadal is known as the “King of Clay.” Recently, the former world champion declared his retirement in a social media video. In that video, Rafael Nadal made it known that he would be playing in the Davis Cup quarterfinals for the last time, at his very best. The 22-time Grand Slam winner, who has battled fitness issues in the latter parts of his remarkable career, already said last year that the 2024 season would be his final at the highest level, so the news is not shocking.
