Ex Agassi coach Brad Gilbert dismays at Nadal retirement question: "He will let you know when the time comes"

Rafael Nadal was amused when reporters asked him about retirement following his loss to Cameron Norrie, a tennis coach Brad Gilbert is fed up with the question.

Nadal has been subjected to retirement questions for several years now. Every time he losses a match reporters quickly jump to it, asking him whether he's close to retirement or what the loss means. Nadal is still taking them rather well finding amusement in the interest in it but it has to be tiring.

It is for tennis coach Brad Gilbert who called on the media publicly to stop asking him the question over and over again. He wrote on Twitter:

"Unfortunately even after @RafaelNadal tells u stop 🛑 asking about my retirement, will come up again in Melbourne,memo appreciate his greatness and humbleness he will let you know when time comes"
