Rafael Nadal's legendary tennis career ended Tuesday not in victory, as had so often been true for the 22-time Grand Slam champion, but with a loss in his singles match for Spain against the Netherlands in the Davis Cup quarterfinals.With a tremendous home-country advantage making for an electric atmosphere in Malaga, Spain, the 38-year-old Nadal fell 6-4, 6-4 to Botic van de Zandschulp of the Netherlands, which went on to knock out Spain two matches to one.
"The first set didn't go too smoothly, the crowd was tough, understandably. That's what it's like to play in Spain against Rafa. He's the biggest sportsman that ever lived here in Spain. It was a really special event."It's tough to close out a match against him, knowing that it could be his last or not. I was hoping more than going for it, but in the end, I just went for it and that helped.
