Rafa Nadal said he could skip singles matches at the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga this week and limit himself to doubles action if it helped Spain's title chances in his last tournament as a professional player.

Rafael Nadal is ready to skip singles matches at the Davis Cup finals if he feels he is not prepared enough to help Spain succeed in his farewell tournament.

Rafa Nadal, planning his Davis Cup finale, considers participating only in doubles matches to boost Spain's chances. Plagued by injuries, the tennis legend prioritizes team success over personal ambition.

Spain's Carlos Alcaraz said playing in Rafa Nadal's career farewell in the Davis Cup Final Eight will be the most special event he will play in his career.

The 38-year-old Nadal has been on tour for more than 20 years and is the second member of the so-called Big Three of men’s tennis to stop playing. Roger Federer announced his departure in 2022, while Novak Djokovic is still near the top of the game.

Rafael Nadal admitted Saturday that he may be forced to sit out the singles at the Davis Cup Finals where the Spanish superstar will call time on his iconic, record-setting career.

All the members of the Spanish team have repeated that it will be Rafa who decides what role he will have in Malaga. The most likely option is that Nadal will only play doubles in this edition of the Davis Cup Finals, perhaps alongside his young compatriot Carlos Alcaraz as at the Olympic Games.
