it was not that hard to understand, he is not dumb...algunos con apellidos españoles siempre tan asustaos de liderar...what was Sacha going to do? get the whole world against him? Just comment on the super champion Rafa Nadal, tranquilo que por ganar jorgejavier rotegaetc no hay que ponerse de perfil, se pone uno de frente perdiendo o ganando, pero se sube uno al podio y acepta la responsabilidad. Afortunadamente Rafa no es como tu.

Zverev acted with honor during the whole match and afterwards. Respect! EDIT: I am referring to the way he behaved yesterday against Nadal in RG 2024. A very large number of public figures, in the past and present, have had issues in their private lives. I try not mixing public and private.

What terrible luck for Rafah. His first round opponent was the player who at the start, was probably the favorite to win it all. Rafa was not only such a superstar, but also a great person. He actually cried far more at Roger's last match, than at what might be his own last match at the French Open. You will be dearly missed. And although I will forever remain a Fed Fanatic, I'd love nothing more than to see you compete one more time at RG - and win it!

Looking forward to seeing great matches of the new generation: Sinner, Alcaraz, Zverev, Medvedev, Rublev... But for me it will never be the same without Roger and Rafa - *the* tennis rivalry of our time.

Zverev is always very dangerous for everybody, but prime Nadal reaches every ball on this court and doesnt miss. Today at 38 he had break advantage in 2 of the 3 sets, imagine hos 2008 version. Of course Sasha deserves this one today and I hope he wins the whole thing now, but don't bring prime Rafa.

Lol old rafa with 2 years break facing best version of zverec first round and game was not even close to one sided i cant imagine what 2013/14 version od nadal would do to this poor zverev not even sure if they would meet latter in stages if zverev would win rafa is improving a lot

I think that prime Rafa would win tie break in second set and then overturn score. Zverev played deadly today, but prime Rafa would be patient using long rallies and waiting to Zverev lose his strength. Today Rafa was not psyhically competitive to be early on Zverev balls and hit stronger and deeper balls and put pressure on Zverev.

Don't joke😂😂😂 This 38 year old bald nadal is not just shadow of himself..He is far from his peak level, let alone prime. He is absolutely finished. He has no endurance.. Stamina.. Stability. But still he played great with his limitation.

I mean Nadal played prime Federer at Wimbldon. I think he can deal w zverev. I mean nothing would be difficult for prime rafa at roland garros. Zverev would be. dead against prime rafa.

I share the same birthday with this guy and I'm only 3 years younger than him 🥲 i've been watching him since I was in middle school and now he's about to retire... Feels like he's a childhood friend by now.. Thank you Nadal for all the excitement you've graced your audience. We love you man really hope to see you in Olympics!

Being Rafa fan for 20 years since I’m a teenager. Seeing him retired(?) makes me feeling old. Time flies, every moment counts. We need to appreciate people around us and those people we loved more. Congrats Nadal and thanks for all the good memories!

I followed all of Nadal's career right from the 1st in 2005 here at RG... Nadal also played in my hometown a couple of times, when he started his careeer.... always made a countless comebacks with his broken body ( after fixing it, of course... )... one of the Greatest Inspiration for all of the human beings.... Rafeal Nadal....

Zverev finally playing to his pontenial. A big guy with great backhand and serve. NADAL couldt get a more difficult opponent . In terms of match up. Am sure that if NADAL had a better draw he goes deep.🏆 Anyway fantastic Match .
