Love you Rafa!! You are such an inspiration through the years of 2 decades! Watching you, crying with you and fighting with you!! You revolutionized being a gentleman in court and not smashing any racket! You are definitely the great example to our children and my 18 year old son especially! I named him Rafael because of you!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

A legend amongst legends. He was the only one giving Federer a hard time when Federer was dominating the courts. Amongst the pantheon of greats no one can ever break his Roland Garros record. Vamos Rafa. You've got one more Grand Slam for Queen and country.

[@jonfreeman9682]

It may be time to hang up his racquet and accept second best. He's made enough 💰 and his Roland Garros record cannot be broken. Joker may have more Grand Slams but it's not worth chasing after him to risk more injury.

[@sonofacheron]

Roger fan for life that slowly began to have grudging respect for Rafa some years back… it’s the greatness of your opponent and the contrast of styles that elevates a mere sport into something transcendent…Fed will always be the most graceful duelist of attacking tennis but Rafa remains the primal beast. Novak has exceeded them both but his tennis will never light fires the way these two did . Novak is great but his tennis - precise, calculated , with all its smothering depth, doesn’t pass the eye test when compared to Roger s liquid whip and Rafa s insanely heavy spin.

[@farhatk6054]

Same for me. As a die hard Fed fsn I have huge respect for both Rafa and Nole

[@kieranrankie203]

Well said! Djokovic ends with more titles but his game just isn’t as good to watch as Roger or Rafa

[@taopaille-paille4992]

Djokovic😂won a lot of crucial matches by using strategic racket break, toilet breaks, and body languages and screamings which were anti sportive. He introduced nastiness into tennis, in a very smart and efficient way. He is very intelligent

[@LakshiAbayasekera]

[@astridhopman3872]

Im so happy for Nadal that he s back on court by Barcelona and enjoy again his tennis. Succes Nadal. 😘❤️

[@A_friendwithoutbenefits]

Avoiding injury whilst getting match practice has to be his priority here. He shouldn’t be trying to go all out to win Barcelona and risking more injuries. If he can win 2-3 matches, great, lose the next one, save the body for Roland Garros.

[@DarlingtonTravassoCardozo]

He is winning Barcelona throphy … vamos my man ❤

[@NguyenTuan-db2gk]

As a diehard Nole' fan, wish u all the best Rafa 🎉

[@Brandespada]

It's a great satisfaction to see Nadal in good spirits, in good health, and willing to return to the courts, despite the list of physical problems he mentioned. This reminds me of a Spanish football player, who had to abandon his budding career due to serious injuries. This player was called Júlio Iglesias! That's right, for those who don't know, Iglesias started out as a talented football player. While he was recovering in the hospital someone brought him a guitar and the rest is history. I've followed Nadal for the last 20 years and I've really enjoyed his moments of glory (I watched two of his victorious finals at Roland Garros), and I've also suffered from his moments of sadness. I feel like the end is near, the age has arrived for tennis. However, he is still too young for many other activities. I'm sad about the prospect of Nadal disappearing from my imagination soon. There were many emotions! Have you ever thought what a dream it would be Nadal singing "Gwendolyne", like Iglesias in Eurovision 1970, with his unforgettable suit!?

[@Melis8624.]

Kurban olsunlar seni yaradana Nadal ım ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@peace4myheart]

When he said one more time, I feel like this is it for him, his last year.

[@jonfreeman9682]

Yeah I think he's done. He's made enough and yes he'd like to win more Grand Slams but it's not worth risking injury. Time to enjoy his 💰 and accept second best to Joker. But he's still the king of clay and no one can touch his RG record.

[@Vestu]

@@jonfreeman9682 He's accepted that, that's not the reason he wants to play still and not money either. He wants to go out playing the sport he loves. Not injured on a couch.

[@dthorne4602]

He isn't second best to anybody

[@commentarytalk1446]

The end comes for everyone: Best to pick the grounds of your last battle on your own terms. The good thing for sports, is there's a lot of life left to live afterwards and the maturation process eg becoming a father or doing coaching and so on.

[@jonfreeman9682]

He's made enough and his legend is secure. He's got one more Roland Garros in him but that's it. With 23 Grand Slams it is an incredible career and he's outdone even the great Federer. Joker will still chase a few more and could finish with 26 Grand Slams but all 3 are legends.

[@dthorne4602]

He may have 2 more roland garros in him this year. I am sure that is the plan. To win it once or even twice in 2024. That would be awesome.

Rafa will need to take his time returning to the tour this time, as he's made too many mistakes with handling injuries in his later years on the tour.
