Nadal achieved his 22 major titles during the 'Big Three' era in which he competed with fellow greats Djokovic and Roger Federer for the sport's major prizes - and his two greatest rivals were among those keen to pay tribute to Nadal's career.

Roger Federer says Rafael Nadal "made the whole tennis world proud" during his "epic career" as he paid tribute to his former rival before his retirement.

Mr. Frommer changed the industry profoundly, Roger Dow, the former chief executive of the United States Travel Association, an industry group, said in an interview for this obituary in 2014.

Nadal's answers included the importance of saying farewell at home, the thought process leading up to his retirement announcement and that he assumed Roger Federer would be "too busy" to turn up in Malaga.

In comparison, Roger Federer was absent from six, while Djokovic has missed just one of the past 79 Grand Slams because of injury.
