the essentials The northern player, more than heated, did not mince his words after the broadcast of a sequence Thursday March 7 during a program on the L’Equipe channel.
Should Rafael Nadal end his career before playing one too many seasons? The Spanish champion, winner of 22 Grand Slam titles, suffers more and more frequently from the physical inconveniences linked to his age (37 years), making his presence in tournaments rare. As proof: he had to decide to give up participating in the American tournament in Indian Wells.

“I don’t feel ready to play at the highest level at such an event” justified the current 652nd in the world. Should the Majorcan say “stop”? The debate is open. The question was at the heart of a theme discussed on the media “the L’Equipe channel”, Thursday March 7. Among the debaters, the journalist Bertrand Latour. “To answer that he must stop is to love Rafa,” he began. “You want to witness the death of a legend, I want to keep the most beautiful image of him and the legends , I want them to go to the top. There, each day that advances brings him closer to an end which will be pitiful and which is not up to the level of his talent. I like it when athletes have an end worthy of their career. It won’t take anything away from what he did, but it’s a bit sad I think.”
