Spain&#8217;s squad for the Davis Cup finals in Malaga, which could mark his farewell event.<\/p>\n<p>The tennis legend, who has not played since reaching the quarter-finals of the men&#8217;s doubles at the Paris Olympics, has previously hinted that this season may be his last.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside Nadal in the Spanish team are world number three\u00a0Carlos Alcaraz, Roberto Bautista Agut, Pablo Carreno and Marcel Granollers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-description\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Link Content Paragraph\">\n<p>&#8220;He (Nadal) told me about his desire to be in Malaga if we

still two months left and all the players who are on the list have to compete and see how they are, but the good thing is that there are many possibilities to combine doubles depending on physical exhaustion or how the tie is going.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Davis Cup finals will take place from November 19 to 24, with Spain set to face the Netherlands in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n<p>Defending champions Italy, led by world number one\u00a0Jannik Sinner, will compete against Argentina, while the United States will go head-to-head with Australia and Germany will meet Canada.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rafael Nadal has been included in the Spain squad for the Davis Cup
