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.
I felt it was the right thing to do, nevertheless, just reading that @RafaelNadal's season has ended made my heart just sink. I love #tennis, but it truly always feels like something is missing when he isn't around. @ATPWorldTour #ATPFinals Right decision though. Get well soon!!

I deserved a better ending but sport does not owe anything to anyone: Rafael Nadal.

Great words and perception from a great athlete. @RafaelNadal #Nadal
I love this photo of @RafaelNadal. Yes, I know he's hurt and leaving the tournament. but there's huge starbursts of light in the photo, but the biggest, brightest of them all is the one waving to the crowd. There'll never be another like him & I'm truly honoured to be a fan pic.twitter.com/b2yEuIInPn

@RafaelNadal you've had an amazing year. From the beginning of the match I saw you were struggling, takes a real fighter to finish. Rest up and see you in 2018 💪.

You can admire or dislike him, but Rafa Nadal is a true fighter. I don't like him, but today he honoured the tournament until the last point

Rest up for 2018, Rafa. We'll be eagerly awaiting your return...💪🏽😄🇪🇸 #USOpen pic.twitter.com/HfdaXYRgQ9
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, @rafaelnadal. ❣️ pic.twitter.com/K0v95KWOSH

@RafaelNadal 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. pic.twitter.com/RIx9FTS26N

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”

Nadal fighting spirit in a sentence:
— DavidLaw (@DavidLawTennis) November 13, 2017
Guaranteed year-end No.1, dodgy knee, coach doesn’t think he should play, saves 4 match points.
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) November 13, 2017
Rafael Nadal, 2017 ATP Player of the Year as far as I am concerned, likely plays his last match in a splendid season.
— Matt Zemek (@mzemek) November 13, 2017
Hopefully he'll be fully fit the next time he comes to the O2 Arena.
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) November 13, 2017
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."
