His attitude of never giving up made me fall in love with tennis...I remember crying when he lost the epic 2012 Aus Open Final against Djokovic. Nadal is not only a legend....but an emotion. One of the greatest legends of tennis to ever exist and rising youngsters must learn from him and other great players(Federer,Djokovic etc).

@indiangirl_in_30s 3 года назад

Do you know what's more impressive? Rafa still plays with the same tenacity, resilience and power. After battling numerous injuries he somehow managed to bounce back and shine even brighter. Today is his semi final match of French open, and as a fan I can be immensely proud.

I was at that match!, normally Ferrero was going to play it but they decided to put Rafa instead, Ferrero had just been number 1 in the world and won Roland Garros the year before, Rafa was 52 in the world. It was the best tennis experience I’ve lived in my life!, I was fortunate enough to be really close to the court, the atmosphere was amazing, but above all, the match that young Rafa played was just amazing, who would guess back then that that kid would become one of the, or “The”, best players in the history of tennis. I can’t thank Rafa enough for what He has given us all these years. A true champion in and out of the court.

While they were never buddies like Rafa and Roger were, I always liked to think there was a very real likeable respect between these two after their first two matches here and at the US Open. They both seemed keenly aware of how dangerous the other could be, and as Rafa would progress I like to think he never forgot that with Andy.
