Yes that's what I am saying to my self, what I could do last year,this year I can't.😞😄 But it was a honour to watch big three. They will be missed and written in history books of sport.
A career that could’ve ended in 2005 but defying all odds and winning 22 major slams , being the king of clay, an inspiration for generations to come . Truly a one of the GOATS in tennis thank you Rafa for everything.
Rafa was my idol since i was 17 and he was 16. Why ? This interview gives you the answer. Always humble,always on the ground with both feet. Nadal is a good person primary ,then also an amazing tennis player. Gracias Rafa,hasta la proxima.
the Man who challenged a god and became a legend, the Man who out of nowhere came and dethroned the king, the fighter that thought us that being friends matters more than being enemies. it was impossible to replicate roger's perfection, the only way to be better was to be more human and just never give up. GRACIAS RAFA...these 20 insane years were just insane. what a privilege it was to see these 2 growing up.
Great speech Rafa. You make the world love you more and more every day. I will miss you so very much. The sitting on the edge of the sofa watching you 2 sets down in a match and come back and win the match. The times when I could not watch a match with you playing because I was too nervous. I have never met you in person but I feel that I know you. Love you Rafa.
A Great person became a Great Champion I wish him all the best for the rest of his life !!! He is The Example to be followed..... Thank you Rafael Nadal.
Though many would say he has been "unlucky" it was nice of him to acknowledge that there was an element of luck in his success and that others work hard, too. For Rafa luck in having an Uncle as a tennis coach and a supportive family + hard work + "x-factor" in his game style that made him a one off.
As a Federer fan, i find this simple retirement speech much more real, Nadal wanted to be remember as a good man, Federer, with all the fireworks of the Laver Cup, as a legend.
The way he was lot more full of emotions and cried on Federer's farewell match shows how much people's person he is. That's why he has die hard fan following across world. Gonna miss you a lot. Without you, there will alwyne something missing in tennis for me. 😭😭😭
I think because he didn't win the doubles with Federer- he felt guilty! If it had been clay, it would have been a different story, even Federer's game was decent on clay, but Laver Cup indoors, against double specialists, not a good idea, unless it's clay with Rafa, again, they should have made his last match on clay, it would have been the fairy tale ending he would have liked.
Is it just me, or was this the worst, lamest, coldest, most soulless, and clueless sendoff ever? They promised something spectacular and in line with his career... and that's all we get?
The irony is- his last match was not played on clay, where he would have won anyone- apart from Alcaraz and Zverev, that has to be a bummer, that's like putting Federer to play on clay, instead of grass, for his last match- of course, top players will win, if it's not your favourite surface, such a pity, well, at least he didn't go out on 40-15.
The soul is willing but body is weak. Damn, what a legend
Yes that's what I am saying to my self, what I could do last year,this year I can't.😞😄 But it was a honour to watch big three. They will be missed and written in history books of sport.
Rafa - my favorite player of all time; tennis will not be the same without you
😢😢😢 You are right
He will be remembered as the greatest competitor tennis has ever seen and the nicest tennis player outside the court !!!!!!
❤❤❤
Never smashed a single racket in his entire career. This fact alone speaks volumes.
Thank you for the memories❤
His true, profound humility is so inspiring.
You will be remembered as a GREAT person on and off the field, Rafa. Thank you for all the memories.
One of the best athletes of all time. King of Clay, it's been a pleasure to watch you compete at the highest level.
A career that could’ve ended in 2005 but defying all odds and winning 22 major slams , being the king of clay, an inspiration for generations to come . Truly a one of the GOATS in tennis thank you Rafa for everything.
Ended in 2005 how…
@ In 2005 itself he was diagnosed with a foot injury which will be worsen over time if he keeps playing
Rafa was my idol since i was 17 and he was 16.
Why ?
This interview gives you the answer.
Always humble,always on the ground with both feet.
Nadal is a good person primary ,then also an amazing tennis player.
Gracias Rafa,hasta la proxima.
Followed him
Since he was 18, he is always my number one , goodbye Rafa , enjoy your life ❤

Great speech Rafa. You make the world love you more and more every day. I will miss you so very much. The sitting on the edge of the sofa watching you 2 sets down in a match and come back and win the match. The times when I could not watch a match with you playing because I was too nervous.

Respect for u Rafa
Though many would say he has been "unlucky" it was nice of him to acknowledge that there was an element of luck in his success and that others work hard, too.
For Rafa luck in having an Uncle as a tennis coach and a supportive family + hard work + "x-factor" in his game style that made him a one off.

Basketball was never the same for me after the death of Kobe. Now, tennis for me will no longer be the same after Nadal' s retirement.🥺🥺
As a Federer fan, i find this simple retirement speech much more real, Nadal wanted to be remember as a good man, Federer, with all the fireworks of the Laver Cup, as a legend.
☮️💜

Vamos Rafa! Thanks for beating Novak on court!
The King of Clay 🇪🇸
😭

Congratulations on your retirement Rafa Nadal there will never be another tennis savant like you ever again…….. 🇪🇸🎾🏆❤️🫡
Eternally the king of clay
Good bye legend
Maybe it doesn't matter to anyone, but as a spaniard I must clarify that Manacor isn't a "small village". It thas around 47000 inhabitants 😅
His demeanor and mind simply beautiful than his tennis..
where is the full rerun?
Rafa move so i move bye vye tennis 🎾 i swear this is my last match to watch so bay tennis👋😢
Uncle Tony and Richard Williams - Oracene Williams have one very profound thing in common. They created tennis monsters. I mean absolutely Champions.
Is it just me, or was this the worst, lamest, coldest, most soulless, and clueless sendoff ever? They promised something spectacular and in line with his career... and that's all we get?
He was a good tennis player.
🧂
Why Roger isn’t there with Rafa??
¿mmm?
No one should say "I'm a good person". Someone could be "Not a bad person". Few people.
The irony is- his last match was not played on clay, where he would have won anyone- apart from Alcaraz and Zverev, that has to be a bummer, that's like putting Federer to play on clay, instead of grass, for his last match- of course, top players will win, if it's not your favourite surface, such a pity, well, at least he didn't go out on 40-15.
Why is Roger not there? He should've been.
Many good players around so off you go enough is enough
The million dollar question: who will sell Nadal vitamins?
One less great pretenders in tennis. Legend of superficials.
Foi contra o direito da pessoa não se vacinar. Não tem o meu respeito.
I am just a good person. Hmmm
Many reports of doping by nadel and other Spanish tennis players and cyclists
aged alot since taking the vaccine
Only hair.
Here we go again “humble” Claydull strikes again… for the last time 😂
Who is he trying to persuade! Seems forced
Haha he praised himself.just retired god sake
lol, a "small village" of 25,000 people when he was born, the second largest city in Mallorca. Chill out with the rhetoric Rafa---it's superfluous.
Disappointed looked at his face. Because noles titles better than him
