Becker: "It's a very personal decision".
Eurosport tennis consultant Boris Becker recently spoke out on the Rafael Nadal case, and in particular on the question of the Spaniard's retirement.
On this subject, the German explained that the question of the Majorcan's retirement was undoubtedly being talked about a little too much, whereas the decision will, in any case, rest exclusively with Nadal.
He declared: "It's a very personal decision. Tennis is his profession, his passion, and it's something he's enjoyed doing so successfully for so long.
We have to give him the time he needs. We're not in his shoes.
He knows he's not playing at the same level as he was a few years ago, but he still loves to compete.
We shouldn't be telling him what to do next."
