22 Grand Slam titles, 92 Tour titles, 1080 Tour match wins, 4 Davis Cups and Olympic Gold medals in both singles and doubles - but now it's all over for Rafael Nadal. The Spaniard retires from tennis as one of the greatest to have ever taken to the court.

Steve Crossman is joined by the BBC's tennis correspondent Russell Fuller, former world number five Tommy Robredo and author Christopher Clarey(who's currently writing a Nadal biography ‘The Warrior’) - they reflect on Nadal's extraordinary career, including the role of his family, his dominance at Roland Garros, his epic rivalry with Roger Federer and what might come next for Rafa. Plus we hear from Pat Cash, Billie-Jean King, Feliciano Lopez and Iga Swiatek, as well as Nadal himself.
