Paris 2024 Olympics, Rafael Nadal blurts out farewell rumors

The words of Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal, already obviously disappointed after the sharp defeat to Novak Djokovic that ended his adventure in the Olympic singles tournament in Paris 2024, raised his voice in a press conference when he was (for the umpteenth time) asked about his future.

"Every single day you ask me if I am going to retire. I try to do my best every day, when I decide to retire I will let you know", the words of the Majorcan who also played an important role in the opening ceremony of the Games, receiving the flashlight from Zidane.

"You can’t always expect me after every game with this thought, leave or don’t leave. I have enjoyed for so many years, I have suffered with so many injuries in the last two years, so if I should feel that I am no longer competitive enough, I will decide to retire and I will let you know. But until that time you cannot always ask me whether I am retiring or not".
