My heart just broke into a thousand pieces. Thank you so much, Rafa, for all the amazing tennis, joy, excitement, and great sportsmanship.
This was way overdue. Rafa has been done for a while now.
Get lost. Ukraina
I'm not sure why you are grieved when you know very well that this day has been coming, and frankly is happening way later than anyone could have predicted
Viva Rusia!!🇪🇦🇪🇦🇷🇺🇷🇺
@@brianschultz7320for the last year or so. Won the French in 2022 so not that long ago.
Been following Rafa for 2 thirds of my life; absolute champion - "victory belongs to the most tenacious" quite literally sums him up. Forever the goat and my idol, thank you legend!
Tennis ends for me... grew up watching him play ... always watched every match he played whatever the tournament may be... suffered heartbreaks with him in some of the closest losses... overjoyed at some of the miraculous comebacks... but always been inspired by him whatever the end result may be... he's been my òne TRUE idol all my life. An example to emulate that shaped my own character.
Adios campeon 😢
the big 3 era is not done yet until djokovic retires, maybe for you because of Nadal, but tennis as sport is bigger than every name or player,
He is unique, he is pure drive, pure passion, pure spirit. Incredible man and athlete
Well said, I can't agree more😢😢😢
I remember his first RG back in 2005. I was 15 back then...I felt old with his retirement...thanks for all Lion...greetings from Serbia
I am the same age as you and I too remember that first win all those years ago. Like you, his retirement makes me feel old... Cheers to aging like fine wine, my friend!
After watching Rafa on TV for 2 decades, I finally enrolled for tennis coaching 3 days ago and then I get witness this announcement 😢. Your passion and love for the game has inspired many people to hold a racquet including me ❤. Sending lots of love and Vamos Rafa 🫶🏻🫶🏻
It’s been a PHENOMENAL run RAFA. Thanks for the memories.
As a Fed fan nut, thank you Rafa. To be able to love a guy that delivered so much heartbreak speaks volume about your character and fighting spirit. The Spanish Bull from Mallorca--we'll miss you.
Having been a Federer supporter since his Masters Cup semifinal against Hewitt 2002, at the time I certainly have not always enjoyed the reality and often superiority of Rafael Nadal's capabilities, but even then I could never deny the outstanding athlete, competitor and sportsman he has always been. He is leaving a legacy of extraordinary craft, resilient sporting spirit and enduring passion. "Thank You!" to a gentleman who has given a lot.
I’ve never been your fan because my loyalty lay with Federer, then Novak, and now Carlos. However, that has never diminished my immense respect for you. For me, no matter what others say, you are not just a legend; but also one of the GOATs. Federer, Novak, and the others pushed their limits because of the fierce competition you brought to the court. Your epic battles with my idols have made me love tennis even more, solidifying it as my favorite sport.
Your absence will be felt deeply, for there will never be another Rafael Nadal. Although many people are named Rafael, for me there is only one Rafa and that is unique to you alone.. Love and respect to you, always. Best wishes for your future endeavors.
- RAFAel Nadal
Thanks men for your amazing words. ❤❤❤
Loyalty? what loyalty here? 😂😂
@@samirsolai7579 Loyalty.. Yes..!! My admiration evolves, but respect remains.. Greatness in tennis isn’t about sticking to one player, it’s also about appreciating the legends that shape the sport..
Well.. Some dumbwits just don’t get the nuance..!!🏆🎾😌 Please don’t waste my time and yours posting such nonsense.. This is indeed an emotional moment, honoring a stellar legend..
Everyone has their favorite of the Big Three but together they make the tennis team. Federer with the power and unbelievable talent, Nadal with the spin and amazing fighting spirit, and Djokovic with the control and mentality. My personal favorite is Nadal but all three have changed the tennis game. We'll miss you Rafa. Vamos 🔥🇪🇸🔥🇪🇸🔥🇪🇸
I remember skipping school in 2004 to watch him in finals. I still have some of his matches on VHS tapes. End of an era but thank you for the memories, Rafa.
That 5-setter in Rome against Coria during the Masters final...what a legendary fight. I saw it right after school - one of his best clay matches in adversity
@@guillaumechatelain5650 oh man, yea they had a few really good finals before Coria lost confidence. it was definitely a fun era.
1st time in my life i read more than 100 comments & all of d comments nothing but 100%Respect for King of clay , So Tq guys 4 represent what i wanna say, Da comment talk by itself & Showed How Charismatic Da only 1 Da legend Da Myth Rafa Nadal , VAMOZZZZ 4eva.
Absolutely blessed to have grown up with the big three. Two down, one left. Rafa you are a warrior. The Spanish Bull. Grit, resilience, heart and not to mention humility. Thanks for the memories - will never forget Wimbledon 08. You’re an icon of sport ❤
As a Novak fan I never hate Nadal I love him and Fedrer but hey this is Nadal's moment ❤❤❤
*You're immortal, king of clay. Thanks for everything, legend of tennis.*
You, Djoker, Roger and Sampras are my favorites. I will always remember your great matches against Nole and Roger.
Best wishes, Rafa.
So many feelings, not sure what to say. I think we all grieving - we knew it was coming - this is hitting me hard. Damn!
We love you. Rafa. We love you. We love you. We love you. Thank you for everything you have given us.
Like a Nole fan, cant stop tears, what a legend, I Nole is probably goat, but Rafa for me play most beautiful tennis, and if Nole dont play tennis, for sure I will be Rafa fan, Legend, and one of the greatest players who ever touch racket... It was honor to watch you champ.
Tennis was over for me the day Rafa stopped playing and did not even want to watch this video but well can't hold back watching the memories of my all-time hero!!
Hi Rafa,I am from madhubani,Bihar,India and you have inspired me a lot. Your never give up attitude,your fighting spirit,and your tenacity are something i love a lot.Thank you RAFA,Love and respect from India
I wish him to go with the Davis cup trophy !! he deserved to go in a great style like he did when he start playing !
legend
Raf's such a legend. That Wimbledon final he played against Fed in 2008 is the greatest grand slam final in history (I think).
When it was over every1 agreed its best match ever.
Today, I dont know. Probably AO 12.
Wimbledon 2008 by a mile. The greatest match ever to be played.
He’s the reason I play the way I do (still do), extreme topspin, buggy whip forehand. Even if my coaches frowned upon it, I didn’t care I wanted to play just like him
what is your ranking ?
I mean, look at all the smiles he brought to people's faces. Everybody's faces. Rafa brought us pure excitement, joy and amazement all these years. And what a wonderful person he is, always fair off and on the court. Rafa, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The best fighter in the history of sport and an example of humbleness and respect. You will be missed sooo much by sooo many. Thank you for these two decades and best of luck with your new life. ❤
Aww Rafa❤ This is such a beautiful tribute!❤
Legend❤
I’ll say my small comment here to everyone. I was a big Agassi fan growing up and thought he would always be my favorite player. Then I stumbled onto Rafa when he played him in the Canada Masters final in 2005. I became a huge Nadal fan ever since. His career was the most wild ride to be a part of. The most incredible matches in history underscored by the most frustrating injuries in tennis history. He laid it all out there for us. Thank you Rafa for everything you gave us! My greatest choice of all time. Once more, Vamos!!!!!!!
Norrie nailed it. The attitude that he brings, he'll be successful in life in anything that he does. A coach's role model to show his player. Never once did he smash a racket in his career. The only professional men's tennis player i have witnessed who hasn't does that. Just incredible emotional control! Thank you for the memories Rafa! ❤❤
Eternal love, memories, inspiration, legend. Rafa is forever
I remember when I first saw him in a magazine in 2004, when I was still in primary school, and a left-handed athlete like me caught my eye. Then, I started seeing his games broadcast on the morning sports news in my country. I knew I was admiring the right person, and I've followed him ever since. Thank you for everything, Rafa. To me, you're always the best athlete.
Thank you very much for the story of Nadal. Please write more about him. I love everything about him. The nicest and humble man. I am
happy that I can watch his matches over and over again ❤🌞
I cried, hard. An era ends... It's so hard to accept.
LOVE ❤ & HUGE🙏 RESPECT FROM ATHENS GREECE 🇬🇷, TO THE MOST LEGENDARY WARRIOR RAFAEL NADAL💪🔥...THE REASON I LOVED TENNIS..
I AM ANTONIS & I BELIEVE THAT ALL OF US, WE WERE LUCKY TO LIVE IN NADAL'S ERA....ALL THE BEST TO YOU RAFA👏🙏👏🙏👏
He is the modern Aquilles.
I remember back in 2004 Miami masters vs Federer, their very first meeting. Federer was so dominant everyone was calling him the goat, the tiger woods of tennis. While I’m watching this match with my dad, my dad looks over halfway through the match and tells me “this guy is scary.” Referring to nadal. I’ll never forget that. He was just unbelievable with his fast paced grueling style. Nobody comes close to his heart and determination. The goat in my opinion.
And who won that match? 😉 🐐
@@aha3885 nadal won
@@taylorpack7705 Yes, I know. In 70 minutes, 6-3, 6-3. He was 17 years old, facing peak Federer on hardcourt. Three weeks later, Rafa broke his left foot for the first time. Pound by pound, goat and isn't even close.
My goat, watching his matches was magical.
And nerve racking!
@@michelez715 yes that’s true jaja, a lot of times I was suffering seeing him play but the moment he turned it around and managed to win in an improbable fashion was a thing i never saw from any other player. His matches are the greatest of all time and the drama was beyond belief.
Thank you, Rafa. A truly special champion and once in a lifetime athlete. On clay especially, Nadal showed what happens when a premier athlete gets on a tennis court. Nadal had the physique and athleticism that could have sustained other sports not just soccer his other sport but even basketball as a guard, even American football maybe as a wide receiver or cornerback back. Unfortunately, carrying the weight of his powerful muscles routinely took their toll on his knees. I love how he chose to show off his “guns” going sleeveless even as a teenager.
Not, imposible winner 22 Gran slam with only physique and atheticism, not compared tennis with baseball or basket. In tennis have more talent in the shots , or bye bye.
One of the greatest Houdini fighters in the game, if not the greatest. He has inspired more than two generations of the game. He is a unique beast and there won't be another one like him for thousands of years. We're lucky to have witnessed and lived through a one in a million phenomenon in Rafael Nadal. The legend will live eternally in the sporting world.
When life seems tough, I think of this man and how he always fights back through adversity. Rafa, it was a joy to watch you grace the courts.
Started watching tennis because of you... I have always supported you all the time.... I remember many newspapers had articles written on you in 2016 stating that you aren't able to overcome some internal demons ...then the comeback in the 2017 Australian open...I remember the semi finals against Dimitrov... You had shut down all the haters that day... I have never seen you behave in unsportsmanlike fashion ... You have always maintained grace in and out of the court... The only thing that ached me was that you support Real Madrid and I support Barcelona 😂... You will always remain my favourite... The 2008 Wimbledon final will remain as the greatest Grand slam final ever... Thank you for everything!!!!
Rafa ❤
And don't forget he never broke his racket in official matches!
There will never be another Rafa but he will forever be in my heart.
Every1 dies the goal isnt to live forever but to create something that will.
Thank you for all the memories Rafa 👌💝. I love you so much ❤❤❤
Será inolvidable esta Bestia del Tenis. Mucho éxito Rafa!
Crazy that Ruud was 6 when he saw Rafa win his first RG, and played him in a RG final so many years later!
The greatest tennis player of all time. Thank you, Rafael Nadal.
Nadal is neither the best nor the greatest,Effenberg fan
I have no words to describe how sad I am. Time flew too fast..
Thanks RAFA for the memories. From a Federer fan 👏👏👏

G.O.A.T. 🐐🎾
Man the Tennis I grew up with is coming to an end 😢
Rafa you had a beautiiful career. Thank you so much for what you brought to the game. I will miss you on the tour and the excitment you brought. Enjoy your family and the next part of your life.
This one hurts! Wish you all the best, Champ
Adios, El Matador!!! Adios, Great Champion!!! Never forget your great comebacks and physical manner of playing.

Thank you Rafael.
Can't get words... 😢😢😢
Thank you my hero …
A LEGEND. Humble and a gentleman. Happy Retirement Rafa 💞💞💞
You are the best, Rafa❤
What Nadal brings to fans transcends the sport itself. The fighting spirit, the passion, the sportsmanship, the dedication to be better day after day. Those are values that any human being can appreciate and be inspired by. That's why he will always be my favorite tennis player.
Grazie Rafa 🧡
This video just made me cry.......
I love you RAFAEL NADAL
And then there was ONE.
Beautiful tributes to a spectacular career. Losing 2 of my favourite athletes in Rafa and Andres in 1 week to retirement is pretty painful 😢
Now I realize it’s just pointless to argue who is the goat among Nadal, Federer, Djockvic. They are all goats. We just be happy and lucky to witness their careers from the beginning to end! ❤
True answer is Nole BOAT Fed GOAT Rafa clay GOAT
👍👍👍AS A RAFA FAN ,I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU...EACH OF THE 3 HAVE A 👑...GREETINGS FROM ATHENS GREECE 🇬🇷

What a player and a tennis legend ! It will be weird to not see him next year but I respect him even he wasn't my favourite player
Enjoy your new life and happy retirement Rafa 😊
Thanks Rafa❤
once in a life time legend for sure, gracias Rafa
reason why I started to play tennis, gracias Rafa
My favourite player to watch and not surpassed. 💜 Powerful intense accurate groundstrokes that for some strange reason seem to elude the newer players or they don't make as much impact on the visual, well not for me anyway. Enjoy your retirement Rafa.
The greatest competitor in the history of sport ….and more importantly a great person on and off the court …Thanks Rafa has been a privilege to be a fan..Enjoy your retirement with your beautiful family❤
Golden era of Tennis 🎾 when Roger,rafa and Novak played
Roger and Rafa will be missed for sure . The Bull and the Butterfly . They're legend. We're blessed we still have Novak playing he is one of the kind historic legends when he retired.
Thank you Rafa.
Gracias ❤ el tenis vive en el corazón, novak, nadal, feder,Murray ❤❤❤❤ la lucha , la grandeza, el espectáculo y la lección de amistad y admiración en todos ellos
FOREVER the king 👑 of clay rafa madal 🎉
My absolute Tennis King!! 😂 goodbye Rafa… I am sure you will be around tennis for long!!
No other player in tennis history has been as powerful and dynamic as Nadal.
It has been a privilege to watch Federer, Nadal, Murray, Djokovic and the rest over they ears
ラファに感謝
King of Clay- Rafael Nadal Parera, Thank you!
Absolute legend. But I feel sorry for Richard Gasquet, poor guy announces his retirement and two hours later Rafa makes sure that nobody notices.
We all miss you too much, Rafa
I just can't take this any more ...I couldn't get over from Roger's retirement now rafa.... Then someday Novak will do the same....🥺🥺 Tennis will never be the same without these three rivalry 😢
Adiós rei sobre la tierra, genio y coraje ,sin limites❤
Lov ya Rafa❤❤❤
😢 Nadal a player who gave tennis excitement, respect, a bigger fan base, and loved the game like no other. He will be missed, Vamos.... king of clay
Veliki Nadal, legenda sporta, nedostajaće tenisu ali kako reče sve ima početak i kraj!
Amazing video ✨💙✨💙
