Tennis legend Rafael Nadal has bid an emotional farewell to the sport he dedicated his life to.

Nadal's retirement came after he lost his last match as a professional tennis player.

The match, which ended with a 6-4, 6-4 loss to world number 80 Boltic van de Zandschulp in the Davis Cup as Spain was knocked out by the Netherlands, marked the end of an illustrious career that included 22 Grand Slam titles and more than 20 years on tour.

After the match, the crowd showed the legendary Spaniard some love by repeatedly chanting his name. A ceremony also took place to celebrate his career. The 38-year-old started crying as a video of his career highlights was shown.

On the subject of his retirement, Nadal said that this is a moment "nobody wants to arrive" at.
