Nagal, who had a dream year in 2024, declined to participate in the Davis Cup, citing the AITA's unreasonable demands.

Nadal retired after the Davis Cup Finals in November 2024, marking the end of an illustrious career. His farewell was emotional, especially after Spain's Davis Cup loss to the Netherlands, where he was defeated by Botic van de Zandschulp in his final match.Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic made history in 2024 by winning an Olympic gold medal at the Paris Games, becoming the first man to achieve a Career Golden Slam in tennis.
