Rafael Nadal, who retired from professional tennis in 2024 after winning 22 Grand Slam singles titles across a 23-year career, says he has largely set the sport aside in his post-playing life, telling Reuters he "almost never" picks up a racket. The admission came as a four-part Netflix docuseries titled "Rafa", produced by Skydance Sports, charts his journey from teenage prodigy in Mallorca to one of the game's greatest champions, including the chronic injuries that he says ended his career prematurely. The 40-year-old said he has no plans to return to competition, though he acknowledged that watching archive footage still stirs emotion, and noted that his legacy continues to inspire others — including Spanish footballer Rodri, who cited the series as motivation ahead of the FIFA World Cup.
