NADAL RETIRES AT THE DAVIS CUP

MALAGA, Spain (AP) — Rafael Nadal has lost 6-4, 6-4 to Botic van de Zandschulp of the Netherlands in the Davis Cup quarterfinals in what will be the last match of the 22-time Grand Slam champion’s career.

That’s because Nadal’s Spanish team was eliminated by the Dutch squad on Tuesday in Malaga.

Carlos Alcaraz evened the matchup at 1-1 by winning the second singles match, but then van de Zandschulp and Wesley Koolhof clinched the victory for the Dutch by defeating Alcaraz and Marcel Granollers in the deciding doubles match.

The 38-year-old Nadal announced last month this event would be it for him as a professional tennis player.

PAT MURPHY TAKES HOME NL HONORS

By The Associated Press

Milwaukee’s Pat Murphy won National League Manager of the Year on Tuesday night after a stellar debut season with the Brewers, while Cleveland’s Stephen Vogt took home AL honors after leading the Guardians to 92 wins and a division title in his first year as a skipper at any level.

Murphy, 65, led the Brewers to an NL Central title, a 93-69 record and is the franchise’s first manager to take home the award since it was introduced in 1983.

In the playoffs, Milwaukee lost to the New York Mets in three games in the wild-card round.

The 40-year-old Vogt beat Kansas City’s Matt Quatraro and Detroit’s A.J. Hinch, both AL Central rivals.

ALEX OVECHKIN IS WEEK-TO-WEEK

By The Associated Press

Alex Ovechkin is considered week-to-week after injuring his lower left leg in the Washington Capitals’ most recent game at Utah.

The Capitals said Tuesday that Ovechkin would be evaluated further by doctors when they return home from their road trip.

The injury from a shin-on-shin collision with Jack McBain slows down Ovechkin’s pursuit of Wayne Gretzky’s NHL career goals record.

Ovechkin scored twice before leaving the game in Salt Lake City on Monday night to give him a league-best 15 goals this season. He’s at 868 goals.

That’s 27 away from passing Gretzky.
