As a Melburnian (and I think most Aussies would agree) we are so privileged to watch a legend on our turf, he may not be born here but he’s playing to a home crowd. He’s never been more loved, he’s shown us so much respect and love these last few weeks and we are truly thankful. I’m 100% on board the Rafa express in the upcoming final. Vamos Rafa! Get that 21! 🇦🇺🇪🇸🏆 Edit: He did it! The madman! 🥳🙌

I have a question to ask you. I'm just asking this to know you guys' view on the situation... But how did the general public react to the Nole situation? Am asking because I've seen many fan comments and many official comments, but wanted to know what the Australian public thought about it Peace

[@kimdye4609]

So nice to hear how much he is loved there! I hope they will all get behind him on Sunday ,he deserves 1 more after the loss of 4 finals! If he doesn't win at 35 he derves Everything hes achieved these last 2 weeks which is more than I thought it would be and I know what he thought it would be to even think that he might have to say goodbye a few months ago is so heartbreaking once we lose this champ and Roger to have the greates that ever play the game 2 of the most loved by the fans because they're so humble respected and admired it'll just never be the same for me I love tennis I'm crazy about it whether I watch it or not I don't know it will never be the same when hes gone though hes been my man for years almost 18 anyway I just so hope so hope and I'll pray so hard like many of us will but he can take the trophy on SundayThis type of human being is who deserves awardsBut if he doesn't get it he'll be OK he'll be happy with what he did just like hes happy with what his whole career hes achieved more than he ever thought and it aint ever thought love you rafa and Vamos!!

[@rubberducky4074]

@@divitmathur4400 A lot of Aussies think he was acting like an entitled brat throughout the entire fiasco. Even one of our news teams were caught on camera saying how awfully he was behaving. There’s a lot of people who lie on their declaration forms when arriving here that immediately get turned away and yet he did the same and was fine, which we thought was unfair because it seemed like there was a different set of rules for celebrities. As if we should be the one’s grateful to watch him smack a ball at our expenses. A lot of us have gone out of our way and sacrificed a lot of our freedoms to protect ourselves from the virus and have taken it seriously but just cause he’s famous he seemed to be above the law and do whatever he wanted. Not to mention he didn’t have to wait long for his court hearings when usually court hearings take months sometimes years to go to trial. Rafa on the other hand understood he was a guest in our country, knows that a lot of us haven’t gotten to see our loved ones who are still struggling to get to Aus and has been very empathetic and humble throughout the tournament.

one of the things that stands out about Rafa is that he is very down to earth and has always been assessing his physical form the way it is. Every match won now against these young guns is a blessing. His spirit is like 20 years ago, not the body. But his experience / tactics has prevailed so far.

[@shabzone]

Listening to Rafa comparing his injury struggles with the rest of the world, this is clear - Rafa has a great perspective on important things in life outside of tennis, and understands he is not a god just because he is great at tennis. At the same time, because he chose the sport of tennis, he will dedicate his mind body and soul to become excellent in this sport. Whether you like Rafa's game or not, you cannot deny his competitive spirit is something every athlete can aspire to. I am a big Fed fan but I wear more Rafa stuff because he inspires me more (and also because RF caps are never in stock)

[@MegsCarpentry-lovedogs]

I'm glad Rafa thinks like that, focusing about his love for tennis, and not chasing majors. It is just who he is, even though it's always better to win. In contrast, Djokovic is so focused on winning the most slams that it creates unnecessary pressure on himself. The US Open was an example of that and was one of the reason why he didn't play so well, want to win the calendar slam. Keep humble and play your best Rafa. Win or lose on Sunday against Medvedev, Rafa will always be a winner in my book.
