      We will feel the same emotions when it’s Rafa’s last dance because he, too, has brought some amazingly memorable moments and human qualities to tennis. Not only is he like Roger and Serena, a legend, but he has played tennis like an absolute gentleman. He is respectful of the game and respectful to his competitors. These two guys have left big shoes to fill when it comes to what it is to play with honour and respect for the game-Viva Roger et bon chance for the future.

      That was a tearjerker. I remember after Roger won the 2017 Australian Open, the cameras followed him into the "tunnel" off of Rod Laver Arean after the trophy ceremony, where Mirka was waiting for him. They embraced and kissed, but her emotion toward him, the genuine love, appreciation, and respect that she had for the time, energy, and doubtless sacrifice that he'd made to have just come back after six months off due to injury, and then best his arch-rival in tennis to hoist one of the sport's most prestigious titles, was palpable. I think that title was the biggest he's ever won, and they both knew it at the time.

    • @benjaminjung94
      @benjaminjung94 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@francis3294 I'm not belittling the other two. They both have amazing influence too. I'm also a Rafa fan since I play more with spin like him. And I agree, stat-wise, currently Rafa is top, but probably novak will surpass both eventually because he has more time left. Novak is probably the most complete of the three in terms of tennis. But despite all that, for some reason, certain players are far more iconic than others. Roger was the face of tennis in the past two decades, if you ask any non-tennis fan, he's the first one that comes to mind. Just like how David Beckham was the icon in football in his days, although Zadaine and Ronaldinho were more sensational to football fans. Influential is a measure of marketability outside the industry. RF had an untouchable iconic presence way beyond any tennis player in history ever. Probably due to the "elegant vibe", he gave inside and outside the court, that was prime marketability. Again, nothing against the other two. My point is RF was the most iconic player and is now a legend. all tennis fans should give our most sincere respect to the most iconic player's departure for how he promoted the sport, no matter who's fan you are.

    Roger is still a ball boy at heart, he showed his love for the sport all over his career! To see Rafa crying is really heartbreaking, this is a true friendship ❤ beyond rivalry!

      TheAnan7777, yes he took it to the pinnacle for elegance, before him there was laver, Borg, and Sampras that played with a good looking game… in case you didn’t know the earth is a plane not a planet… see YT channels DITRH and Eric Dubay… peace

    Rafa was looking at roger like his friend is going away from tennis and he felt it from his heart , a true friendship where they both started there career and one of the player has retired this emotions are priceless . So good to see Rafa & Roger to play for the last time . They maybe the best rivals on court, but they are true friends is forever.

    Dear Roger, the first match I ever saw of yours was on July 2nd 2001, when you beat Pete Sampras in that amazing R4 match at Wimbledon. I saw something magical in you that day, as millions of others have too. From that day on, I've watched all your matches, followed all your fantastic career unfolding before my eyes and it was an amazing journey. The joy you made me feel when watching your game is incomparable to anything. I do not regret a single second watching you play, and I will miss being on the edge of my seat on your games, waking up in the middle of the night sometimes, just to watch you play. You have been an integral part of my life so far and being your fan has changed me in a lot of astounding ways. In more ways than one, you are my idol. I was 15 when you beat Sampras in 2001. I'm close to 37 now, which means I've been watching you play for more than half my life. Thank you for all the tears of joy you brought me, thank you for your magical game and your amazing sportsmanship. Thank you for being who you are. Your game of tennis is equal to none, your game is peRFection. Goodbye, Roger...I will miss you terribly...😢😭😥😞

    Cried and used some tissues throughout the video/interview with you, your family, Rafa and I'm sure millions of other fans around the world. Thank you for everything, even though I never saw you play live, you are a huge inspiration with a big heart and a legend, even off the court, as a down-to-earth, so likeable person who also shows emotions. In my opinion, there is such a big difference to football and without judging, I noticed yesterday when I saw the photo with Djokovic, Nadal, Murray etc. that you are all such great and close people - I rarely had this feeling with football.
    Stay as you are, I feel proud to be Swiss because of you. You couldn't represent us better. All the best to you and your loved ones, but also to Rafa etc. on the way. 🇨🇭🇪🇦 Thank you and a big hug. We need more people like you. ♥️
