Would love to see Federer and Rafa sit down together and watch their 2008 Wimbledon finals and give their commentary.

That would be so good. I'd sit through the entire series. I'd love to see them commentate together at slams. If these two decided to start a tennis coverage media company. imagine the insight and access we'd get?

Rafa, your retirement also signals the end of a beautiful part of mine and lots of other people’s childhood!

@anassdahchour7943 Ай бұрын

Exactly! What makes me emotional is not just the best player in my opinion retiring, but also saying goodbye to a part of my childhood, used to run back home from school to watch Rafa play if he was that day 😢

@rgomis Ай бұрын

I agree! Same on my side

@mattwidmer9238 Ай бұрын

Absolutely agreed.... He and Federer were always a big part of my childhood. I'm 34 yo today and knowing that I will never witness the same feelings, excitement, sometimes frustration as I did with this generation makes me deeply sad. Also knowing that there will never be the same fire for any sportman yet to come...

Dear Rafa, you will forever be remembered as a symbol of humility, honesty, and unparalleled passion. ♥ Your contribution to the world, both on and off the court, is a priceless gift, a testament to the incredible person you are. The heartfelt words from your friends and companions, those who have shared so many meaningful moments with you, reflect the deep respect and admiration they hold for you. Without you, they wouldn’t be who they are today-and without them, you wouldn’t have become the Rafa we all cherish. I don’t know if these words will ever reach you, but please know that you will be deeply missed. Thank you for everything, Rafa. ♥

@Curt-t2r Ай бұрын

@@d_lydian Beautifully said. Great writing. Thank you Rafa deserves it. I am a 58 year old man in the U.S. who played and followed hockey and Football. But for the past 20 years Rafa has been my idol. Inspiration. It’s hard to explain. I became a massive tennis fan. A Rafa vs Nole is more physical with more suffering than football. The mental part of playing an individual sport is off the charts. But Andy Roddick said “Rafa you are my idol. I feel strange saying that about a younger player who is in my sport but you are my idol”. So I guess a 58 year old shouldn’t feel strange saying it either. The greatest athlete of this century. If not for injuries he would have over 30 Grand Slams. Thank you Rafa. Vamos Rafa, Viva Rafa. Long life Rafael Nadal.

2008 Wimbledon Final, the highest peak tennis has ever reached for real, that match was utterly unreal. glad to have witnessed his entire career, the fact that his man managed to play until 38 with so many physical problems speaks volumes about his mind over matter attitude, any other player would've probably retired before 30.

@Sytanya Ай бұрын

As a German I stopped watching Tennis after Steffi Graf and Boris Becker retired, but the competition between the 4 goats, Andy, Roger, Novak and you got me hooked up to tennis again, because all of you are great and inspiring personalities and role models for those who will try to follow in your, or create even bigger, footprints in the future. Thanks for making tennis for persons like me as well as for countless kids around the globe so interesting again! All the best for your future time now!

In the beginning of his career, people mistook Rafa's intensity and quirkiness for a kind of manic, distant coldness. But that couldn't be further from the truth, and the years showed who he really is. An absolute gentleman, humble, passionate, and incredibly hard working. A true role model, in a time where we desperately need more like him. I am happy for him, but also sad to see him leave. He had an amazing run. Go enjoy your family now, Rafa! God speed!

@Curt-t2r Ай бұрын

@@chrism3790 I agree with everything you wrote, except coldness. You were on the right track. When Rafa first came on the scene he had the long hair and capri shorts and cut off shirts. People (and several of my good friends) mistakenly took that as cockiness. Nothing could be farther from the truth. It wasn’t cockiness. He has always been bashful, quirky, and never felt comfortable in his own skin. I implore everyone to read the brilliant article in the New Yorker by Louisa Thomas. Rafa has an all time great level of humility. When he was 19 and on his way to becoming a millionaire, and very handsome, with a ridiculous physique, he opened up about his fear of the dark and fear of storms and deep water. It’s the antithesis of a man who had more intensity, more drive, more fighting spirit than anyone in any sport, ever. Read the Nee Yorker article. Andy Roddick called an emergency podcast when he heard the retirement. He got Jon Wertheim on from his car (who is the top tennis journalist in the world ) and I loved what Jon said, “you can talk about all the records which are goofy, but I want to talk about Rafa behind the scenes. At every tennis tournament he always made time for and thanked the workers in the players food service, the ball girls and ball boys, the volunteers “. It’s why R-Fed said “if there is one word to describe Rafa, it’s kindness”. This man transcended Sports and transcended tennis. I am absolutely devastated with his retirement. My idol. Rafa Nadal. Long live Rafa. VAMOS.

As with Roger, and now Novak….Novak’s greatness was hardly limited to the tennis court. I’m trying not to be incredibly sad at knowing we’ve watched his last match, knowing we should be celebrating his career….but, even knowing this was coming, it’s still gut-wrenching.
