Hobbled by a knee injury, Nadal lost to David Goffin, 6-7(5), 7-6(4), 4-6 and called off his season. When Nadal started 2017, most wondered if he would be relevant. Ended it World No.1. Job done.
Time to sun himself, rest up, do it again.- DavidLaw (@DavidLawTennis) I felt it was the right thing to do, nevertheless, just reading that 's season has ended made my heart just sink. I love , but it truly always feels like something is missing when he isn't around. Right decision though. Get well soon!!- Dominic J Stevenson (@djstrasse) I deserved a better ending but sport does not owe anything to anyone: Rafael Nadal.

From the beginning of the match I saw you were struggling, takes a real fighter to finish. Rest up and see you in 2018 .- rach (@RAACHEEL1) Sad news... has been forced to pull out of the due to injury. - Tennis TV (@TennisTV) You can admire or dislike him, but Rafa Nadal is a true fighter.

Rest up for 2018, Rafa. We'll be eagerly awaiting your return... - US Open Tennis (@usopen) i've been to quite a few rafa matches in my life, seen him win, seen him lose. this may be the first loss in which I leave feeling "satisfied". He didn't give up, not once. So for me, that will always be special. thanks, . - natalie (@_naterzzzz) 67 match wins

By withdrawing from the ATP Finals, has brought his 2017 season to a close...but what a season it was - Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) Thanks for trying ! Your attitude has no equal and will never have. Now, please, go to your beautiful Mallorca and enjoy a well earned rest & vacation. Your 2017 season has been amazing! We love you & want to see you competing w/your passion for many years. - Genny SS (@genny_ss) there's no player we love more. You work so hard even though rewards aren't guaranteed, you respect all opponents, good people surround you because you treat them well & you're never arrogant about your supernatural abilities. Thanks for this season, thanks for you. - TroubleFault (@troublefault) Nadal says he knew he was pulling out during the match because he was in pain & wasnt enjoying it: ”After the year I've had, I don't deserve to feel like that on court for 2 more days”- Reem Abulleil (@ReemAbulleil) Rafael Nadal when qualified for World Tour Finals

2017 Withdraws after 1 match- Christopher Clarey (@christophclarey) "I made the commitment with the event, the city, with myself... I tried... I cannot keep going. It really doesn't make sense", Nadal- Carole Bouchard (@carole_bouchard) Nadal fighting spirit in a sentence:
Guaranteed year-end No.1, dodgy knee, coach doesn’t think he should play, saves 4 match points.- DavidLaw (@DavidLawTennis) Nadal: "I knew during the match. It was a decision I took during the match. Even winning, even losing, I was going to pull out."- Stuart Fraser (@stu_fraser) Rafael Nadal, 2017 ATP Player of the Year as far as I am concerned, likely plays his last match in a splendid season.
Hopefully he'll be fully fit the next time he comes to the O2 Arena.- Matt Zemek (@mzemek) If Nadal is playing the World Tour Finals on a bum knee for honor, he has made his point. Not worth compromising 2018- Christopher Clarey (@christophclarey) Rafael Nadal: "Well, is not a decision at all. Is about the pain. I cannot hold with enough power to keep playing. I tried, but seriously was miracle to be very close in the score during the match."
