At 38, Rafael Nadal ends a 20-year tennis career, becoming the second of the "Big Three" to retire after Roger Federer’s 2022 farewell. Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic remains at the top of the sport.

I have a lot of great memories winning seven titles there and hope to be back with you next year, says the player

The 22-time Grand Slam champion, Rafael Nadal, is currently competing in the Six Kings Slam exhibition in Saudi Arabia. He will face long-time rival Novak Djokovic for the final time in the third-place match on Saturday. Nadal lost to fellow Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz 6-3, 6-3 in the semifinals, while Djokovic fell to World No. 1 Jannik Sinner 6-2, 6-7 (0-7), 6-4. Alcaraz and Sinner will meet in the final.

The Italian secured a 7-6 (7-4), 6-3 victory over the Serbian great, becoming the first man to win more than six titles in a calendar year since Andy Murray claimed nine in 2016. This one-hour and 37-minute win marked Sinner's personal best, bringing his season total to 65 victories.

Nadal won 22 Grand Slam singles titles during an unprecedented era he shared with his rivals in the so-called Big Three, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.

I'm really disappointed to share that I won't be able to compete at the Laver Cup in Berlin next week, says the 38-year-old

With his advancement, Djokovic became the first male player to record 90 wins at all four Grand Slam tournaments. He is now just eight wins away from tying Jimmy Connors for the most US Open match victories. The first set lasted an hour, with Djokovic winning 6-4 by claiming every point on Djere's serve in the 10th game.

Ahead of the US Open, Djokovic expressed his frustration, stating, "I understand the players' frustration due to a lack of consistency." The 24-time Grand Slam champion added, "His case was cleared almost immediately after it was announced, but it took five or six months from the time the news of the positive tests reached him and his team."

Djokovic's impressive career already featured a men's-record 24 Grand Slam titles and the most weeks spent at No. 1 in the rankings by any man or woman.

It will be their 60th matchup, more than any other two men have played against each other in the Open era, which began in 1968
