When Nadal announced his retirement last month, Djokovic was one of the first to react. The world No. 5 shared a heartfelt tribute to his biggest competitor and shared his intentions to attend his farewell tournament.
“Thank you for pushing me to the very limit so many times in our rivalry that has impacted me the most as a player. Your passion for representing Spain has always been remarkable,” he wrote.
“I wish you best possible farewell in Malaga with Davis Cup team of Spain. I will be there in person to pay respect to your stellar career.”
The Davis Cup Finals tournament director has now revealed that Djokovic won’t be the only top player in attendance for Nadal’s retirement as Murray has also voiced his hopes of coming to Malaga.
“For now, I know that almost everyone in the world wants to be present for his farewell,” Feliciano Lopez said.
“Novak Djokovic posted on Instagram that he wants to be there, also Andy Murray wants to be there.”
