Retiring Nadal won’t play Davis Cup singles if he’s not feeling good enough

Associated Press  

MADRID — Rafael Nadal is ready to skip singles matches at the Davis Cup finals in Malaga if he feels he is not good enough to help Spain succeed in his farewell tournament. “I’ll try to prepare as best as possible so I can be available to play, but I want to help anyway I can, playing or not playing,” the 38-year-old Nadal said on Saturday from Malaga in an interview published by the Spanish tennis federation. “I have already told on many occasions not to make any decision based on the fact that this is my last week as a professional tennis player,” Nadal said. “My first great joy as a professional tennis player was in the Davis Cup in 2004,” Nadal said.
