The end for Nadal does feel nigh though, not least because the 38-year-old was recently forced to pull out of the US Open.
Taking to social media to announce his withdrawal, Nadal said: “Hi all, writing today to let you guys know that I have decided not to compete at this year’s US Open a place where I have amazing memories.
“I will miss those electric and special night sessions in NYC at Ashe, but I don’t think I would be able to give my 100% this time.
“Thanks to all my US Fans in particular, will miss you all and will see you another time. Best of luck to all for the always amazing US Open!
My next event will be the Laver Cup in Berlin.”

The 2024 edition gets underway in Berlin on September 20th.
