  1. Dear Rafa, no matter what happens i will always support you, you are my hero from wim06, you were young played against best player Federer, everyone expect you to lose easily but you didn’t give up, played great match, after that you become better and better every year finally winning all slams… it is sad to see you losing like this, but good think is that Novak was in his best and you are not, you will come back and winning matches again, if not i will always support you, because you are not just a great player you are one of the greatest person sport ever seen – your humanity and never give up attitude won´t be forgotten

  2. Dear raga We all saw the qf with rapt attention it Is all a rude shock., we hope and pray for the forthcoming events ( Wimbledon)best of luck. fans from chennai 600040 India

  3. Many more great years for you to come, I want to thank you for a decade of amazing tennis, and for inspiring my 7 year old son to pick up a racquet and have a true love for the game. He looks up to you & I cant think of a greater role model. He loves Real Madrid too. I am proud to be a Rafa fan, wonderful tennis player but above all else, wonderful man.x.

    • Couldn’t say it better myself. You are, and will always be, the most amazing person and the most amazing tennis player. Been watching you for 10 years but still can’t get enough! Blessings, Cheryl Fosse

  4. I started watching tennis because of you…i remember my dad watching wimbledon 2008 finals and he was supporting roger federer…i instinctively said i like the other guy which was you…since then i have been supporting you rafa and whenever i have seen all your matches i have always seen that you never give up and keep on fighting till the last point…people are saying that rafa is not going to be the same ever again as he is 29 years old now..but somewhere deep inside i still feel you have that one last zeal remaining in you where you will still play amazing tennis for the next 3 years and become the highest ever grand slam title winner…love you rafa and always will….awaiting your stylish comeback

  5. Rafa, happy, happy birthday for yesterday! Hope you could enjoy it with your loved ones!

    About the match – of course I was very disappointed, especially because it was against Novak. You say you will be back, and I really hope so. Tennis, as much as I love the game is not half as interestin when you are not playing. Your comments sometimes scare me. Like you mention that youve already done this, been there etc. etc. and then, …. youll really come back harder. I hope you seriously mean that and make all the necessary changes that you need to make in your game and of course strengthen your mind. In all the matches except the one against Novak, there was an improvement in your game and mental attitude. So I hope in course of time you come out top in every way even against Novak. Dont see him as such a giant – you can beat him and dont forget he beat you in RO this time when he is in top form and you at your lowest or not in form at all. So you deserve a lot of credit the way you fought and played all your RO matches.

    I sincerely hope you will continue playing and in the best way possible get back to the top and shut all the mouths of those – even like Mats Wilander and others who put you down forever.

    VAMOS Rafa!!!!!!!!!!! Loved you from the very first day I saw you play and always will regardless of any results.

  6. My Beautiful Spanish Boy, you will forever be my Champion & #1, that will never change. Love your determination, guts, fighting spirit, loyalty, honour, respect, manners and the will to win at all costs. Your fans are still with you, and we know you will be back. Please enjoy your break, and enjoy your tennis, you have nothing left to prove.

  7. Rafael, I am one of your biggest fan. I want to give you two pieces of advice and I really hope that your time isn’t over and that you can win 2 or 3 Grand Slams more and several other titles.
    1. I respect uncle Toni, but do you think about hiring another additional member of your team, like Novak. They can both help you to develop even more some other aspects of your game. I mean if you win the rallies easier, it will help you a lot (with more short balls for example)
    2. Continue work as hard as always and I hope that you can do it, you can start beating top players, you can become the best player in the history at the end ! Go on and never give up!

  8. Happy Birthday Rafa 🙂 I do so hope you had a cake which was always prepared at Roland Garros. Keep believing and working hard and you will soon be back to the top of the game 🙂 love you and all the best wishes for your future. Keep 🙂 and never stop believing that you are great player, and I am sure all your efforts will be rewarded and you will be back winning big trophies once again…….mel

  9. Te amo Rafa, siempre y para siempre. Eres el amor de mi vida y mi corazón late por ti. Y tengo que dar a TI GRACIAS por todo lo que nos das – en presente. Mi apoyo por ti es interminable y sincero y incondicional. Vamos Rafa. Adelante con corazón de campeón!

  10. Win or lose rafa we love u have every faith u come back better and stronger. There no one that won the same slam 9 times and all ur other achievements so we and u know u play outstanding tennis. Your an amazing person and athlete so believe in urself and c u on court soon much love and vamos! Rafael nadal xxxxx

  11. You have lit up the tennis world with your unique spirit, flair,incredible tennis, dignity, grace and sportsmanship, Those of us who support you will always be there and know that you will return to your best. Believe in yourself as we believe in you Rafael

  12. Champion in winning and champion in defeat ypu are a gentleman and will I know come back and win again. Happy Belated Birthday Rafa. Have great respect Diana

  13. Only you can produce that sweet smile in defeat Rafa! My dear adopted grandson I am so proud to feel I am related to you – even if it is only wishful thinking! You demonstrated your strength in breaking Novaks service twice, n then that …… Umpire gave you a “time warning”!! My heart missed a beat, as I have noticed your game drops when you have been given a time warning on previous occasions over the years. If I heard correctly, I think the commentators remarked that both you n Novak were breaking the time limit prior to you being warned? Correct me if I am wrong. You were born to be a Star Rafa in many ways n we all know you will come back fighting. You have proved you are a “Top 1” Player n I am praying you get back to where you belong. Enjoy your Birthday Celebrations today with your loved ones n friends. Vamos Rafa. God bless you. Love your Aussie Nana. 😀😀😀 🌹🌹🌹

  14. Rafa, you are a marvel in Tennis. There are other players who want to match you. They may but it is not all that easy to equal you. And you have also certain limits as a human being. You need rest and you should recuperate and get absolutely fit for your other areas of life and family. You can take this opportunity to settle down in life with Maria Francesca and begin to build up your family. Also consider to go to church and invite the Lord in your life. You should know that along with business in life, spirituality also need a place in your heart. We all love you Rafa and take care.

  15. What a champion. What a role model. Love you Rafa and so so proud of you now and always.

  18. Happy Birthday, Rafa! You will continue to improve and get back to your top tennis game.
    You are such an inspiration to millions of people with your humble attitude, charming personality and ability to be gracious in defeat. I don’t think you realize how very special you are! Continue on your path. I wish you health and best wishes for the future!
