Nadal out of Italian Open as Osaka and Swiatek progress

Rafael Nadal has been knocked out of the Italian Open by world number nine Hubert Hurkacz.

In what is likely to be the Spaniard's final appearance in Rome, Nadal, 37, was comfortably beaten 6-1 6-3 by the big-serving Pole in just 93 minutes.

Nadal, a 10-time winner in the Italian capital, has indicated that 2024 is likely to be his final season before retirement.

The 14-time French Open champion says he is yet to decide whether to play at Roland Garros this year. The tournament starts on 26 May.

"The decision, as you can imagine, is not clear in my mind today," Nadal said.
