Report: Rafael Nadal’s retirement triggers Davis Cup ticket price surge
ATPSaturday, 12 October 2024 at 13:40
Fans are going crazy regarding the tickets for the Davis Cup
quarterfinal after Spain’s legendary tennis star Rafael Nadal announced his retirement.
The 38-year-old is often regarded as one of the greatest players in the history
of men’s tennis in the singles category in the Open era.
Nadal has recently announced his retirement from professional
tennis in an emotional video. The former world number one announced that his final
appearance on the court will be in the upcoming Davis Cup, where he will
represent Spain’s side in the quarterfinal. As per the latest report, the price
of the tickets for the competition has soared up to about €34,500.
During the video, Nadal announced his excitement about participating
in the event. "It is obviously a difficult decision, one that has taken me
some time to make,” he said. “But, in this life, everything has a beginning and
an end. And I think it's the right time to put an end to a career that has been
long and much more successful than I could have ever imagined. But, I am very
excited that my last tournament will be the final of the Davis Cup and
representing my country. I think I've come full circle since one of my first
joys as a professional tennis player was the Davis Cup final in Seville in 2004.”
Nadal will finish his career with 22 Grand Slam titles, the
second-most in the history of men’s tennis in the singles category, only behind
Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic. Fourteen of those 22 major titles
came while playing at the Roland Garros which is why he is also known as the ‘King
of Clay’. Nadal has struggled with fitness concerns in the later stages of his
career. He returned to the court earlier this year after a gap of nearly 12
months. He ended up winning just 12 out of 19 matches and suffered seven
defeats in the process.

- The title is indeed a tiny bit over the top :-)

mandoist12-10-2024 - It doesn't "shake up the tennis world". Though perhaps a warning of what's to come for part-timers playing the system! Sponsors are not forever... they expect something in return.mandoist12-10-2024
- If they can solve the Mr. Gauff problem (nasty remarks and loudmouth) they can squash Leylah's mouthy father. His obvious shout-outs as opponents are serving this season is more than obvious. Clearly easy to collect many of those moments on this season's videos. Perhaps Umps can start enforcing rules about vocal interference from the box!!mandoist12-10-2024
