Neither Rafael Nadal nor Spanish captain David Ferrer would say Monday whether the 22-time Grand Slam champion will play singles or doubles — or maybe not at all — at the Davis Cup Final 8, his last event before retirement.

Spain's Carlos Alcaraz said playing in Rafa Nadal's career farewell in the Davis Cup Final Eight will be the most special event he will play in his career.

Carlos Alcaraz has claimed Rafa Nadal ’s “farewell” to tennis is more important than the Davis Cup this week. The 22-time Grand Slam winner will retire at the age of 38 in front of an emotional home crowd in Malaga after years dogged by injuries.
