Same. Tennis is a beautiful sport and I will always follow it but there will never be another
@RafaelNadal
& I am sure that no one will ever evoke the same feelings and actions that Rafa has evoked in me. He was truly an idol for the ages and he gave us enough to last a lifetime.
I will never ever feel this way about a sports person ever again. Never give up sleep for sport ever again. Never worry about a draw ever again. Never travel or plan my trips specifically to watch someone play ever again. Never cry over a sports person ever again. Never ever!

Rafa didn’t even want to raise the trophy too much. The way he put his arm around Roger & nuzzled him was genuine care & respect. ❤️
Federer and Nadal’s connection wasn’t just a rivalry. They weren’t best friends, but they weren’t just competitors. There was a mutual understanding that they were, together, creating history.
This iconic video captures the respect, even when victory and defeat separated them.

In case you’re wondering why Rafa isn’t practicing today in Paris, it’s because he flew home to be a groomsman for his good friend Tomeu who is getting married today.

OMG how is he doing this again?!
Novak Djokovic is on the tournament entry list, and therefore is placed into the draw today. We are currently in communication with his team; however, it has not been determined if he will participate in the event by getting CDC approval to enter the country.

Praying for this treatment to work today for Rafa so he can be relieved of his awful pain & be happy in his day to day life. Of course if he can play Wimbledon etc. that would be amazing but the most important thing is his happiness. 🙏🙏🤞🏼🤞🏼
🔸 Hasta mañana, Nadal no depositará su nueva copa de los Mosqueteros en las vitrinas de su Museo, ya que hoy va a estar en Barcelona, para realizarse ese tratamiento innovador en su pie
