Rafael Nadal has been described as a "legend" and "one of the greatest of all time" after the tennis icon confirmed he will retire at the end of this season.
'Big Three' rivals Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have led the tributes to Spain's 22-time Grand Slam champion, who will compete for the final time at next month's Davis Cup Finals in Malaga.
Known as the 'King of Clay' during an illustrious career in which he won 14 French Open titles, Nadal retires as the second-most successful men's singles player of all time, behind only Djokovic.
