“Dear Roger, my friend and rival, I wish this day would never have come,” Nadal wrote on Twitter.
“It’s been a pleasure but also an honour and privilege to share all these years with you, living so many amazing moments on and off the court.”
The Swiss tennis legend Roger Federer said on Thursday he is retiring after next week’s Laver Cup.
