Rafael Nadal has dominated headlines over the past several days following the official announcement of his retirement from professional tennis, shared widely on social media. According to an Instagram reel posted July 5, Nadal revealed that his farewell match is set for next month, sending both his fans and fellow athletes into a flurry of reactions online as the tennis world prepares to bid farewell to one of its greatest champions. The gravity of this moment is echoed by Roger Federer, who described Nadal’s reaction to recent tributes as “incredible,” highlighting the emotional charge surrounding Nadal’s exit according to reporting on Tennis365. While Nadal previously emphasized his aim to finish his career in 2024 and acknowledged undergoing two operations to prolong his time on the court, his recent statements and the social media farewell confirm that the final curtain is now imminent, marking an end to an era in men’s tennis as relayed by the Daily Sun.
Business-wise, Nadal remains highly active. Just yesterday, the National Bank of Kuwait renewed its two-year partnership with the Rafa Nadal Academy, reflecting both Nadal’s enduring brand power and his commitment to sports development and healthy living, particularly among youth in Kuwait and globally. The academy itself remains a focal point for elite training and international events, including the just-announced return of the Rafa Nadal Open by Movistar, which will stage its seventh edition from August 25 to 31 at his Mallorca base. Nadal expressed deep satisfaction with the event’s growth, describing it as one of the most rewarding aspects of his post-competition involvement. The tournament continues to draw top names and significant crowds, reinforcing Nadal’s legacy as a tennis ambassador and mentor beyond his playing days, as detailed by the official Rafa Nadal Academy news release.
On the personal side, Nadal has spent time honoring others; he posted a heartfelt message on X mourning the tragic death of Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota and his brother, expressing his condolences and empathy in both Spanish and English, as covered by Pro Football Network. Socially, a playful side of Nadal appeared when his post to a fan named Dilawar made the rounds on Instagram, with the tennis star remarking, “That’s how legends appreciate each other.”
Commercially, Nadal’s appeal also endures in the fashion world. He was recently named the new face—and body—of Tommy Hilfiger underwear, tailored menswear, and fragrance, continuing his tradition of high-profile endorsements as reported by BG Fashion.
As the tennis world turns toward Wimbledon’s new generation led by Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, Nadal stands as a pillar in both memory and influence, his retirement signaling not an end, but a transformation into a new era for himself, his academy, and the sport he helped define.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
