Rafael Nadal’s announcement of a retirement date was “tough news for the tennis world”, world number one Jannik Sinner said Thursday.
Nadal announced earlier that he will step back from tennis after the Davis Cup finals in November, ending a career which saw him win 22 Grand Slam titles.
“He’s an unbelievable person. He taught us young players how to behave on the court, how to handle situations on the court… Also to stay humble at the same time, not changing with his success,” said 23-year-old Sinner, speaking at the Shanghai Masters tournament.
