Rafael Nadal is getting set to retire from professional tennis after one last event: He will be part of Spain's team at the Davis Cup finals that start Tuesday in front of a home crowd in Malaga. The 38-year-old Nadal has been on tour for more than 20 years and is the second member of the so-called Big Three of men’s tennis to stop playing.

Yesterday Nadal trained on the main court of the Palacio de Deportes José María Martín Carpena for a practice session with Pedro Martinez, watched by both his coach Carlos Moya and Spain team captain David Ferrer.
