Your link doesn't work and is a mess. Besides, how does Zverev know when Rafa will retire? Did Rafa tell him personally he intends to retire at RG?

Like a year ago, Rafael Nadal could be in a better position ahead of the Australian Open. The Spaniard produced a miracle in Melbourne 12 months ago to clinch his 21st Major title and write history books. Rafa is the top seed at the next week's Australian Open, entering the season's first Major with only 11 matches in his legs after the last year's Wimbledon. The legend lost seven of those duels, struggling to find the form and enter the winning circle again.
Alexander Zverev made a bold prediction ahead of the Australian Open, suggesting Nadal will end his career at the upcoming Roland Garros in June. Rafa will turn 37 during his favorite Major, and he is still among the world's best players, finishing the previous season in the top-2. Nadal often said he wants to extend his career even after becoming a father in October last year, feeling eager and passionate to compete for a couple more years.
Rafael Nadal has been on the Tour for over 20 years.
After massive problems in 2021, Rafa claimed the Australian Open and Roland Garros for the first time in his career last year. Thus, he extended his tally to 22 Major titles and left Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer behind. Rafa was the year-end no. 1 favorite ahead of the second part of the season, but it was not to be for him. The veteran reached the Wimbledon semi-final, seeking his first All England Club trophy since 2010. However, he experienced a seven-millimeter abdominal tear and withdrew following an epic quarter-final victory over Taylor Fritz in five sets. Rafa would play only nine matches in the rest of the season, losing a chance to become world no. 1 and barely finishing inside the top-2 ahead of Casper Ruud.
Nadal lost to Borna Coric in Cincinnati before reaching the US Open fourth round. An abdominal injury was back to bother him, and he fell to Frances Tiafoe in four sets in New York, spoiling his no. 1 chances. Rafa stayed away from the court for two months, eager to recover and play injury-free. The Spaniard returned at the Paris Masters and the ATP Finals and experienced four consecutive losses for the first time in 13 years! Rafa wrapped up the year with a triumph over Casper Ruud and wished for more at the start of 2023. Nadal led Spain at the inaugural United Cup in Sydney and experienced losses against Cameron Norrie and Alex de Minaur, both from a set up! Rafa arrived in Melbourne early, with enough time to practice at Rod Laver Arena and shape up his game ahead of the season's first Major.

Hmm, so it actually says in the article that Zverev meant the upcoming Roland Garros in June, which is indeed bold and completely out of the blue from Sasha.
Unless it's a straught-up lie, I wonder was the context of him saying something like that.

Maybe he is hoping he retires so he has a chance, even if it is a slim one.

Retired = verb in past simple tense. Rafa has already retired in Roland Garros 2022 did not announce it, and he kept on playing. Well, by his results after RG 22 is like he did not play much.

The article only glossed over this alleged quote from Zverev from what I could see. No proof he even said it at all.

Well, Zverev is somewhat close with Roger, as far as players on the tour go, and Roger is fairly close to Rafa. So who knows. But Zverev making such claim openly is still weird.

I cannot find any quote from Eurosport where Zverev supposedly said this. Until I see some legit proof, I am calling bs on this crap.

Isn’t Nadal retired now?

No.
He hasn't retired yet. And, anyway, he predicted Rafa'd retire at RG 2023, so he was wrong.
