Well said George. He is the best in the business and very humble person. Rafa is a role model for everyone.

People come and go. They are ephemeral, tennis is only constant and the beauty of our sport is that every generation has its share of great players and definitely future will have many more great players. The eternal rigmarole marches relentlessly forward.

Well pipl said same thing when Bjorn Borg retired.. show must go on

Agree me too can't imagine 🎾 without him❤️

Come on! There is a lot of history and people that came before him. You can only compare players against each other from the same era.

Mine too along with Tom Brady

He can do it

2014 and 2017 losses at AO must hurt more than 2012 and 2019. Those 2 were golden chances.Rafa should have tried harder to make them happen. Now though Rafa will need a favorable draw to win AO. If Novak is at his best level at AO , difficult to see Rafa winning the title. Rafa atleast has a chance with Fed in AO even though it will be difficult due to low bounce and faster courts but with Novak in peak form at AO its not possible. The pattern of play at AO as seen in 2019 simply doesn't match up. Some one needs to take out Novak.

@@susruta25 i think with age he has lost a bit of that mental edge. His recent performances against djokovic and federer in slams outside of French Open have been disappointing. The 2018 Wimbledon was there for him to win but he messed it up just like federer messed up 2019 Wimbledon. But going forward scheduling will be key for nadal. If he can pick the right tournaments and come in injury free, he will have a chance.

@@rajarshighosh4821 Agree, 2018 Wimbledon was another episode which though doesn't hurt so much personally to me being a Rafa fan. Ofcourse it was tough loss for team Nadal. He was clearly the better player in that match except service department where Novak got lots free point. In AO he needs to play more flatter. With the amount of top spin he gives in AO court people have too much time to hit back.

He didnt have luck in AO many times,he should have it more,2014 injury in final against wawrinka,2012 and 2017 five sets match,but he still can win and he he will go for it,he played final last year,took us open now soo WHY NOT Rafaaa

I saw him playing when he was just 16 at a the Challenger in Heilbronn. He won his first round match easily and afterwards I passed him in the lounge where he was just standing and waiting for sb. Who would have thought that he would become such an iconic champion?

Do you speak french ? Please thank you

Nice memory to have. Thanks for sharing! He always had talent but still had to work so hard and still continues the work to achieve all that greatness.

@@tlsnm1 welcome and yes
