Rafael Nadal won't play for Spain at the Davis Cup Finals this year and he's unsure whether he'll ever play in the competition again.
The Spanish Davis Cup captain revealed recently that Nadal told him he won't play in the Davis Cup early in the season and it's been something that wasn't particularly surprising. Nadal is focusing mostly on his singles career in order to elevate his legacy and he's already delivered the Davis Cup for his country.
Speaking in Turin following his win over Ruud, Nadal responded to a question related to the Davis Cup:
"I was not an option (for 2022
Davis Cup) because the captain knows since the beginning of the season
that I was not an option this year. If I am representing my country, I
need to do it with the full passion and full confidence and full spirit
as I did in 2019 in Madrid. I don’t think this year I am able to be at
that level of everything"
He added:
"Then let's see if I am able
to play again the Davis Cup one day. I am not sure about it, but of
course in my mind I will love to say goodbye to that beautiful
competition. As everybody knows, I am getting old (smiling). Even if I
would like to be everywhere, I can’t, I simply cannot".

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
