I love to see how people across the world appreciate the values of passion, work, and humility of a champion, regardless of nationality. This inspires me and makes me think that the world has an oportunity.
Rafa be a U.N. Ambassador for youth sports development!!!
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful match. My thanks to two great tennis sportsmen. Rafa, I am so happy for your 9th win.
RAFA NOS DEJA YA SIN CALIFICATIVOS PARA DEFINIRLO… SÓLO DECIR QUE ESPAÑOLES COMO ÉSTE ES DE LO QUE NOS HACE FALTA…
Congratulation Rafa you are amazing, but also congrats to Nole, magnificient tennis player and sportman, beating him makes your achievement even greater because he is so good too. Keep playing many matches you two…
Ojala todos los GRANDES fuesen tan humildes y SINTIESEN los COLORES COMO TU LOS SIENTES¡¡¡¡
What a remarkable display of talent and grit—so deserving of that trophy-truly the King of Clay and beyond!!!! Millions follow tennis because of you, Rafa–many more trophys to follow we are sure!!!!!
Ele é o melhor tenista dos tempos parabéns sempre é um monstro sagrado!!!!!!!!!!!
Grande Campione Felicitazioni più vive! Sei the KING!
Vamos Rafa! Congrats!
So heartwarming to know so many sports-persons appreciating the exceptional skills, great attitude and mental strength of Rafa — aside for his being a good person! He is truly a legend.
In the eyes of millions, you’re the GOAT. For me, you are the best of GOATS. Congrats Rafa on your 9th French open title. May you continue to inspire us, your fans. God bless! I will remain your forever loyal fan!Stay healthy.
Rafa Nadal…LO MEJOR…CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Nine times French Open Champ –and only barely 28 years old. You’re really a marvel, man.
That’s our boy. Australia is so proud of you. A true champion in every way. Congrats.
AMAZING!!!! I was so moved by your determination and passion. Congratulations friend!
Losing earlier clay court tournaments is also a strategy of Nadal to boost overconfidence in the likely foes among the likes Novak, Ferrer, Murray et al.Good strategy. Congrats Toni, a master strategist indeed.
Congratulations……. more more power God Bless…….
CONGRATS RAFA what a true superstar <3
You are indeed a true champion! Congratulations on your 9th RG title! That is fantastic! And you now have 14 grand slams. I am so very happy for you Rafa! You have always been my favorite player. You are a true fighter and champion and yet you remain so humble. There will never be another champion like you!
