    Is Rafael Nadal ready to say goodbye to tennis?

    Rafael Nadal is a 22-time Grand Slam champion, but at nearly 38 years old his body is starting to fail him.
    He is widely expected to retire later this year, but not before a last hurrah at the French Open where he has enjoyed such unprecedented success.
    In this Athletic tennis special, host Adam Jones is joined by The Athletic's two dedicated tennis writers Charlie Eccleshare and Matt Futterman to discuss Nadal's chances of going out with a bang.
    Produced by Tim McMaster
