@@etotigasad9996 Peu importe s'il est meilleur ou autre... personne ne remplacera Federer et Nadal dans le cœur de leurs fans...et ce malgré tout le respect que j'ai pour Djokovic
Literally in tears I did not want this day to come 😢He is such a nice guy who has given so much to the sport. You will go down in history Rafa as one of the nicest and kindest sportsman who has achieved so much. I literally can't stop crying.
I've followed you Rafa from the first time in Paris in 2005, there's no greater sports player ever in my opinion than you. Humility, Kindness, Respectful, Fighter and Champion for the ages. Thank you for the decades of the best tennis the world has ever seen. You will forever be my all time favorite sports personality. Gracias Rafa ❤
Let's see what kind of handshake Nadal chooses to use as a farewell to Djokovic. ;-> Hopefully he can make something more out of it than just a casual handshake, have cool eyes, let's look like an alpha.
Even Rafa’s retirement speech is a class act. I will miss watching him play. Thanks Rafa for giving your all every point. It was a privilege to get to see your tennis journey and go down in history 🎾.
Oh Rafa, it's 6:50am in Australia right now. I'm watching this video in tears. You will be forever missed. A huge highlight for me was your comeback in the AO in 2022. You were incredible and never gave up! I haven't seen anything as impressive since and I'm not sure I will. Good luck with all your future endeavors. With love and Respect from myself and Australia. xo
Yes that Aus Open Final was unbelievable. Two sets to love down and our Champion came back and destroyed Medvedev. Rafa is all heart and never said die. Fought to the very end and such a pleasure to watch. I'm heartbroken I'll never see that kind of tenacity and pure love for the game, again. No one will ever match Rafa. HE IS THE GOAT.
No one will ever come close to what this amazing genuine man was for this beautiful sport I’m a French man and boy was it an honor to watch this man dominate in Paris and all over the globe I am so 💔 but yet so proud and happy for him well deserved no matter what he did it the right way so proud and happy for this amazing genuine human being so happy muchas gracias por todo Rafa the sport will never be as beautiful without out you I’m so proud and thankful for ya
That is beautifully put. Couldn't agree with you more. It's hard to put into words how much we love and respect this beautiful human being, Rafael Nadal. There aren't enough words to express our love and admiration and respect for him.
I’m crying right now 😭😭😭 Rafa was always my idol and because of him I play tennis I have his racket, his bag, his shirts, I love Rafa I was sad when Roger retired, but now, this is a whole other feeling I hope he and his family stay healthy and have a good life Gracias Rafa!
I have NEVER enjoyed watching another player as much as Rafa. He brings something very special to any court. Even though we all knew his retirement was coming, this news still brings me to tears. I will miss you Rafa so, so much,. All the best for whatever you choose to do next on your amazing journey. 🎾🎾❤🎾🎾
Tu nous as fais rêver. Particulièrement, ici, en France. Merci pour toutes ces émotions que tu as fais vivre à ton public. Tu fais parti de l'histoire. Un parcours magnifique. Encore merci Rafa
from the start up to the end of your speech - I can't help but cry ! I'm 61 years old - i always like tennis - but never had any idol. You are my only idol - and you are much younger than me - but you are such a great athlete and an excellent person that i can only say i'm so proud to call you as my only idol the only one king of clay and i'm so so sad that i can't watch you anymore ! i know you deserve to rest now that you achieved a lot - your dedication to the sports is next to me ! And i'm so proud to be called as one of your die hard fans - then - now and - forever. Thank you so much for making us happy through these many years. I hope one day I can have your signature. I always tried to see you in person in AO but never had the luck! I wish you all the best and your family and friends. Please come to Australia again - maybe I will be lucky to see you, one day ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Rafa for making me fall in love with this sport. Thank you for not only entertaining a whole generation, but also teaching the value of hard work, determination, humbleness and perseverance. Its time to rest now, champ. Wishing you all the best. One of your biggest fans since 2005.
What a legend and inspiration to many players, young and old, there will never be another Raffa and your French open will never be broken mate in a very very lon time. I am 55 and I loved watching Ivan,Sampras and then you, I'm glad that I/we could watch a player like your caliber in my lifetime, all the best to your family and retirement, now it's time for you to enjoy your life with your family and friends, you have given us so much joy over the years. All the best Mate.
People always argue who the GOAT in tennis is. I don’t care, I just notice that there’s no such sportsman personality like Rafa in Football, Basketball, Baseball etc. Tennis fans were simply blessed for him having been around for so long
Rafa, what you achieved is super human. You won 22 Grand Slams, 2 Olympic singles gold, 1 Olympic doubles gold and more than a thousand other championships while struggling with never ending injuries. It's a blessing to be born in this era of tennis GREATNESS. Happy retirement champ! ❤❤❤
Fan absolu de Federer...cette nouvelle concernant Rafa m'a donné un choc au coeur. Je l'ai détesté.... respecté...puis aimé. Et je me rends compte que depuis la fin de Roger, je ne suivais plus que Rafa et Novak... maintenant que Rafa s'arrête aussi, c'est une page qui se tourne dans ma Vie...et ça me rend très triste... Bravo rafa pour ta carrière exemplaire.... Signé un Fan de Roger ❤
I am Roger fan, but Rafa is really a legend… the way he hits the ball and his tenacity is incredible, yes there will not be another person can replace Rafa. I really admire his sportsmanship and good respect to player. Yes Novak is also good player but his emotion management needs to be improved
What a wonderful speech! Thank you, dear Rafa, for the many glorious matches, even when my nerves were shot to pieces watching you. May you enjoy good health and happiness for the rest of your days, with your family. You have given pleasure to millions, and done so much through your charitable Foundation, including your school in India.
I’ve been watching since he Ed was a young kid have bc loved everything about him Including his family tennis won’t be the same 90 rd old hoped to enjoy him till I made 100 just won’t be the same without that smile
Thank you Rafa for the tennis that we enjoyed for so many years. You’re genuine at heart, not just an all time great player but also as a person. Good wishes to you, cheers! 👍🎉💕
We will miss him tennis won’t be the same without Rafa Him entering the court with Roger it’s an indescriptible scene you feel as a fan the excitement the chill you’re like you’re petrified by a sensation which is unique for sure those moments are priceless and all tennis fans will miss him Adios Rafa
LOVE ❤ & HUGE🙏 RESPECT FROM ATHENS GREECE 🇬🇷, TO THE MOST LEGENDARY WARRIOR RAFAEL NADAL💪🔥...THE REASON I LOVED TENNIS.. I AM ANTONIS & I BELIEVE THAT ALL OF US, WE WERE LUCKY TO LIVE IN NADAL'S ERA....ALL THE BEST TO YOU RAFA👏🙏👏🙏👏
Totally agree with you, Bjorn Borg was my all time favourite and then along came Rafa. Sorry Bjorn, but Rafa brought such an intensity to the game and he never ever threw a tantrum or smashed a racquet or abused an umpire. He was simply the best there ever has been. Don't care how many Grand Slams someone has, Rafa is THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME IN EVERY FACET OF THE GAME AND OF HUMANITY.
Neither did Bjorn Borg throw tantrums or smash racquets or abuse umpires, in case anyone thought I was suggesting that. It was the intensity and excitement that Rafa brought to the game. Bjorn was the Iceman.
For the sake of immense joy and happiness you gave us and to honour my unconditional and fathomless love towards you, I have named my son after You..Rafa...So grateful and lucky to witness you play some of the greatest tennis..moments of ecstatical disbelief, magic and sheer brilliance..A very emotional moment for me too.. Will eternally miss you playing tennis...best of luck for your future life.. Love from India... Gracias ❤🙏
Thank you Rafael for ALL the joy you have brought to sooo many... You gave everything, ALWAYS.. Your dedication, strength and motivation has been amazing to watch... we honour the sportsman that you have been❤❤❤
Rafa, You really entered my psyche in your first match at the Miami Open, my home town, for your first meeting against Federer. The greatest personal sports highlight, and one of my top moments even for non-sports events, was watching you win Roland Garros live against Casper Ruud in what would be your last championship win at RG. Thank you for all the great memories and may God Bless you and your family.
I used to hate Rafa for all of the pain he caused me as a Roger die heart fan but I never doubt or deny his greatness, commitment and drive on the tennis court. I never thought this news will make me this emotional. Congratulations and huge respect Rafa. Together with Roger you’ve created possibly the greatest rivalry in sport history. All the best Rafa 💪 PS. To Rolland Garros executives it’s time to name your main court with Rafa’s name.
It was Rafa that brings tennis to another level, otherwise it would be boring regarding to Federer's monopoly. He was the anti thesis to Federer. And the better player should always win.
Nadal's academy will also be one of his greatest legacy. His contribution to the sport is beyond belief. What a player!! AO 2022 final should be watched by every aspiring athlete irrespective whichever sport they play.
I have tried to prepare for this moment, but was not able to. I cried hearing the news. His humility, profound dedication and love of tennis is admirable. His remarkable physicality and skill made his matches special. II hope the next chapter of his life will be full of happiness and joy. Who knows, perhaps in the future we will be watching his son emerge as his heir? We will miss you Rafa!
Merci pour tout ce que tu as fait champion. Tu es une légende et le restera toujours. Triste nouvelle mais inévitable...le monde du tennis et du sport est fier d'avoir eu un tel champion et un tel guerrier.
Tennis will not be the same without rafa a very sad day for me.congrats on a wonderful carrear i will miss all the match point ,forhand down the line and of course the celebration after winning a point today to i am officially retiring from watching tennis thanks rafa . Maybe when your son starts to play i will watch.
'I leave with the absolute peace of mind of having given my best'. If there is only one player in the history of tennis who can say that, it is Rafael Nadal.
Although Im a die hard fan of Novak, losing another member of the Big 3 is a very sad day for tennis. It takes two to make so many amazing battles and matches that these guys had on the court, there will never be another Roger and there will never be another Rafa. All the best in your retirement and thank you for the memories :)
I’m a Rafa fan and it be a truly sad day when Novak goes too and that may not be too far away. How lucky are we as tennis fans to be able to watch all three of them give us the most incredible battles on court over so many years. There will never be another era like it.
Es imposible no llorar como un niño, al ver este video de un hombre tan ejemplar como hombre, atleta y humilde persona. Siempre te amaremos y te recordaremos Rafael Nadal! Eternamente gracias por todo! De todos nosotros tus fanaticos. Que Dios te bendiga y a todos tus seres queridos!❤
For my money, the greatest tennis player to witness ever. I've had the fortune of seeing him play live at least 20-30 times around the world. I've had front row seats to see all the legends dating back to 1980. I never thought I could love a player more than I did Agassi, but then came Rafa. He's the Steph Curry of tennis...with more bite. Thank you, Rafa!
I am Roger fan, but Rafa is really a legend… the way he hits the ball and his tenacity is incredible, yes there will not be another person can replace Rafa. I really admire his sportsmanship and good respect to player. Going to miss you in court Rafa.
2 Australian opens 2 Wimbledons 4 Us opens 14 French Opens 2 Olympic Gold's 5 Davis Cups 36 Masters 1000 ONLY MAN IN TENNIS HISTORY TO REGISTER 480+ VICTORIES ON BOTH HARDS AND CLAY
@@wimzswimz9843 He has enough to be a great ... Even Federer didn't win monte Carlo and Rome and no Olympic singles Gold and never beat Nadal on Clay GS ... Great players career can be incomplete.. Yes Djokovic did it better... but that doesn't mean he deserves less respect .. he outclassed Federer in terms of achievements and has his own dominance etched in history.....
I have watched Rafa play since he was 17? Now he's retiring...I have cried many tears, knowing I'll never see him on a Sunday morning playing in a men's final! So many sweet memories...Vaya con Dios!
Rafael Nadal, um dos maiores ícones do esporte, hoje ao anuncia o final de sua carreira com a mesma humildade que sempre o caracterizou. Ao contrário de muitos que buscam um grandioso adeus, Nadal opta por uma saída silenciosa, marcada pelo respeito e pela simplicidade. Assim como Roger Federer, cuja elegância dentro e fora das quadras tornou-se sinônimo de tênis, e Novak Djokovic, com suas incontáveis vitórias e recordes, Nadal construiu um legado incomparável. Mas o que realmente o distingue dos demais não são apenas os troféus ou os momentos épicos em quadra. O que o coloca acima de qualquer conquista é seu espírito esportivo, sua postura de campeão incansável e, acima de tudo, sua humildade inabalável. Nadal sempre demonstrou um profundo respeito por seus adversários, sua equipe, seus amigos, e, especialmente, sua família. Seu pai, uma figura central em sua vida, é uma representação do valor que Nadal dá às suas raízes, à sua cultura, e ao orgulho que tem por sua terra natal. Hoje, o tênis se despede de um dos maiores de todos os tempos. Fará muita falta, mas o vazio que deixa é preenchido pela certeza de que ele fez sua parte com maestria. Sua carreira foi extraordinária, marcada por garra, determinação e uma simplicidade rara no esporte de alto nível. Nadal deixa as quadras, mas seu exemplo como atleta e ser humano seguirá inspirando gerações.
I will miss watching Rafa. We won't see another Rafa again. A phenomenonal, very talented tennis player, especially on clay.
He will go down in history. 22 Titles to his name.
Brilliant!! 🎉🤩🌟🎾🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🇪🇦
There will never be another Rafa Nadal.

I think Djokovic is just not in that zone, feels off

2 Wimbledons
4 Us opens
14 French Opens
2 Olympic Gold's
5 Davis Cups
36 Masters 1000
ONLY MAN IN TENNIS HISTORY TO REGISTER 480+ VICTORIES ON BOTH
HARDS AND CLAY
The man who stayed 17 years in the top 10 without dropping out for a single second. Consistency.
He forgot ATP Finals!
@@wimzswimz9843 He has enough to be a great ... Even Federer didn't win monte Carlo and Rome and no Olympic singles Gold and never beat Nadal on Clay GS ... Great players career can be incomplete.. Yes Djokovic did it better... but that doesn't mean he deserves less respect .. he outclassed Federer in terms of achievements and has his own dominance etched in history.....
@@syeedchowdhury2501 As far as i'm concerned, Djokovic is a nice man. Why should he be hated?
@@wimzswimz9843 first of all I was talking about Nadal.. second of all there is no mention of hate ..wtf bro
Love u rafa ❤❤❤
I have watched Rafa play since he was 17? Now he's retiring...I have cried many tears, knowing I'll never see him on a Sunday morning playing in a men's final! So many sweet memories...Vaya con Dios!
Te queremos sín límites Rafa❤💚💛🙁
I'm a Federer fan, but thank you Nadal, tennis wouldn't have been the same without you!
....ich werde ihn sehr vermissen...❤
Rafael Nadal, um dos maiores ícones do esporte, hoje ao anuncia o final de sua carreira com a mesma humildade que sempre o caracterizou. Ao contrário de muitos que buscam um grandioso adeus, Nadal opta por uma saída silenciosa, marcada pelo respeito e pela simplicidade. Assim como Roger Federer, cuja elegância dentro e fora das quadras tornou-se sinônimo de tênis, e Novak Djokovic, com suas incontáveis vitórias e recordes, Nadal construiu um legado incomparável.
Mas o que realmente o distingue dos demais não são apenas os troféus ou os momentos épicos em quadra. O que o coloca acima de qualquer conquista é seu espírito esportivo, sua postura de campeão incansável e, acima de tudo, sua humildade inabalável. Nadal sempre demonstrou um profundo respeito por seus adversários, sua equipe, seus amigos, e, especialmente, sua família. Seu pai, uma figura central em sua vida, é uma representação do valor que Nadal dá às suas raízes, à sua cultura, e ao orgulho que tem por sua terra natal.
Hoje, o tênis se despede de um dos maiores de todos os tempos. Fará muita falta, mas o vazio que deixa é preenchido pela certeza de que ele fez sua parte com maestria. Sua carreira foi extraordinária, marcada por garra, determinação e uma simplicidade rara no esporte de alto nível. Nadal deixa as quadras, mas seu exemplo como atleta e ser humano seguirá inspirando gerações.
