Following the announcement of the retirement of world Tennis superstar, Rafael Nadal, sports enthusiast and Group Managing Director, Sahara Power Group, Dr Kola Adesina has heartily congratulated the sport icon for his illustrious and entertaining skills and also for sharing his legendary career with the world.
In a heartfelt social media post seen by VERACITY DESK (veracitydesk.com), Dr Adesina bid farewell to Nadal, who will conclude his sporting career at the upcoming Davis Cup Finals in Málaga, Spain, which runs Nov. 19-21, 2024.
Nadal will retire as one of the most decorated tennis players of all time. He’s won 22 major titles, with 92 total career titles. He’s won over 1,000 matches, and earned an Olympic gold medal in 2008.
It’s been quite the career for the Spaniard.
Read Dr Adesina’s statement in extenso as reproduced hereunder:
After over two decades, the King of Clay retires his racket.
Such an exceptional career that started by winning 16 titles before turning 20yrs, it will be difficult not to pay attention to the young Rafa.
He has shown resilience, determination, and hard work. Even during the time of injuries, he fought his way back to court and earned a spot as one of the “Big Three.”
After 22 Grand Slams, I would have longed for more, but the body and age has it’s own limits irrespective of that mind.
It was always a highlight watching Rafa play, and I look forward to his activities off the court for the world of tennis
Well done, Champ@rafaelnadal!!
